Description

"Development Policies: how effective are they?"

There's a lot at stake in assessing the effectiveness of various development policies tens of billions of dollars of foreign aid and hundreds of billions of foreign direct investment going into developing countries. How important is local ownership of development programmes? What is meant by 'capacity' - and how important a factor is it when speaking of development effectiveness? How far is the international community from meeting the targets of the Millennium Development Goals, and what can be done about it? In this edition of World Chronicle the principal author of the UNDP "Development Effectiveness Report," Khalid Malik, explores these questions in an overview of what works and what doesn't in development assistance.
