Answer:
Provide markets. Forgive debts of poor countries. Spend more on well-thought-out foreign aid, e.g. micro loans. Consult, ask what is needed. Help in ways that are requested by communities, unions, small enterprises. Provide expertise as requested. Be supportive. I don't think Free Trade agreements are the answer. International corporations are not primarily interested in the well being of the people of the world, nor of the earth itself. It is wrong for them to be given so much control and influence. The IMF and World Bank are not altruistic either, and their policies have been shameful.
