European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI), Policy Paper Series, May 25, 2010, online edition
"Much has changed since the Millennium Declaration in 2000. The global economic crisis itself marks the end of a relatively benign period for development cooperation of buoyant aid budgets in the OECD-countries (“the North”) and strong commitments to public expenditures on social sectors in the South, reasonable economic growth in many developing countries and a consensus on policy parameters and instruments in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). With the 2015 deadline for achieving the MDGs approaching, the development stakeholders recognise the need for a better understanding of who is doing what and which approaches produce the best results." This report analyzes what the MDGs have achieved, what the 2010 MDG review should do and gives an outlook on how the context is changing further for global development 2010-2020.
Andrew Summer is a fellow of the Institute of Development Studies. He is a cross-disciplinary economist. Thomas Lawo is executive secretary of EADI and Director of its head office in Bonn, Germany. report
