Who is trying to help? The Commitment to Global Development Index.
Manage episode 377933049 series 2571140
The Sustainable Development Goals were at the top of the agenda for the United Nations General Assembly in New York this year. How many donor countries get a failing grade when it comes to meeting the target of contributing 0.7% of their Gross National Income? A lot. But 3 countries in Europe are standing out as leaders in surpassing the 0.7% commitment. And this comes at a time when countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are focusing more development dollars back on to their own shores and borders.
In this episode of GDP, Ian Mitchell from London's Centre for Global Development joins us to talk about why some countries are giving more than ever to international development, and why others are losing interest.
Ian Mitchell is a senior fellow and the director of development cooperation in Europe at the Center for Global Development. He leads CGD’s work in Europe on how governments’ policies accelerate or inhibit development and poverty reduction—considering both the effectiveness of aid and policies beyond aid including trade, migration, environment, and security. He is also an associate fellow at Chatham House and at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
