Development cooperation effectiveness, 10 years after Busan
At the multilateral level, the elaboration of the first Human Development Report (1990) marked the beginning of a decade of UN-sponsored conferences on the different dimensions of development. Its connections with human rights, social policies, the environment, the protection of children… were the object of a sustained process of reflection and deliberation, leading up to the 2000 Millennium Summit. The adopted Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set up objectives, targets and instruments aimed at a verifiable and multi-dimensional reduction of poverty by 2015, including a global partnership of all countries for this endeavour. Official Development Assistance (ODA) was the central instrument in this agenda, and the MDGs provided it with a clear, shared and scheduled results framework. Reflecting on and committing to a better ODA to achieve these objectives was the natural next step.
