"The fourth High-level forum on aid effectiveness (HLF-4) must define the EU’s future commitments to more effective development aid. At a world level, the EU contributes more than half of official development assistance (ODA). That said, there remains much to be done to deal with the causes rather than the symptoms of poverty around the world. This is an extremely difficult issue. How can we create a development and, especially, a codevelopment policy that is both relevant and provides a way out of poverty for the least advanced countries? High-level conferences and declarations remain focused on the mechanisms for delivering aid when we need to think about drawing up effective development policies. Aid has reduced due to the financial crisis and also due to the noticeable reduction in the level of ODA which, for some fund providers, is lacking in short-term results. We cannot accept this short-term vision which does not match the deep and essentially long-term action which development assistance represents. HLF-4 can only succeed if it achieves a strong commitment from the EU in favour of effective aid, achieved via clear and measurable objectives."@en1
