The Reality of Aid 2006 Global Report
Author: Reality of Aid
The Reality of Aid 2006 Global Report takes on the issues of security, conflict and the war on terror and present life-and-death challenges vis-Ã -vis development cooperation. With reports from 20 OECD countries, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific, and graphs illustrating major trends in global aid, the Reality of Aid 2006 Global Report provides a unique commentary on the state of development cooperation. While issues and circumstances appear varied, there are strong common voices that emerge from these reports:
•In the context of conflict, development cooperation must be even more clearly guided by binding obligations under international human rights instruments and agreements and must be the framework for building improved donor coherence;
•Democratic national actors, including local civil society, are the owners and drivers for the resolution of conflict and people-centered approaches to security must be strengthened;
•The integrity of aid for poverty eradication must be protected; and
•All avenues for promotion of peace must be exhausted and the UN system reformed for effective democratic multilateral resolution of conflict.
