 The year 2005 is a landmark
year for aid effectiveness. It marks the
beginning of a 10-year project to achieve the
Millennium Development Goals aimed at
significantly reducing global poverty by 2015.
How donor countries can work together to achieve
these ambitious goals, adopted by the UN in
2000, is now resonating around the world as the
largest gathering in history of international
leaders convenes at UN Headquarters for the
MDG+5 World Summit from 12-16 September. The
2005 Human Development Report: International
Cooperation at a Crossroads takes particular
aim at the critical role of donor cooperation in
achieving the MDGs.
This Special Report
looks at aid harmonization, a new framework for
how donors may soon be conducting business in
the developing world. This report contains
interviews and feedback from the donor
community, from aid recipients, from civil
society, and from private citizens discussing
the complexities of donor harmonization--and the
promise it holds for meeting the MDGs in the
developing world. You will find here links to
resources about MDG-related aid projects,
opportunities to participate in reader polls on
aid issues, and opinions from Development
Gateway members.
