"Official Development Assistance (ODA) is necessary and must under no circumstances be reduced. There is no justification for not honouring our commitments to reserve 0.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) to ODA. However, the quality of the implementation, management and use of ODA to maximise its impact in terms of growth and poverty reduction must be improved.
Official Development Assistance represents more than USD 120 billion. Doing more and doing better goes beyond an increase in resources. I am in favour of ‘more’ general or sectoral budget support and fewer projects when macroeconomic and governance criteria allow this. If a country qualifies for 30% of budget support, why should it not qualify for 90%?
It should be recognised that, beyond the fragmentation and proliferation of stakeholders, the international community must rise to a new challenge: that of the metamorphosis of support. It should be recognised that there coexist, alongside Paris and Accra, other kinds of relationships, other ways of doing and acting, which must now be taken into consideration. The response to these changes can only be inclusive and political."@en1
