- The author seeks to show why, apart from reducing the number of donors,
the ultimate aid delivery mode is budget support. Budget support which relies on recipient country systems creates crucial incentives which are likely to improve public financial management for both recipients and donors. However, improving aid effectiveness is no substitute for meeting commitments on aid levels. Without European leadership and a commitment to improve »donor« governance, rich countries will lose credibility in any serious discussion of developing countries’ governance. Germany, too, can be blamed for a significant part of the gap between the billions of euros the EU pledged and what it has actually delivered. - from the Department Global Politics and Development of the FES

- The Millennium Development Goals Report 2010 was launched in New York by the Secretary-General on 23 June 2010. The report, which presents the yearly assessment of global progress towards the MDGs, warns that while some progress has been made, it is uneven. And it pinpoints the areas where the accelerated efforts are needed to meet MDGs by 2015. The report is based on a master set of data compiled by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG indicators led by the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
- The report is available in all other UN languages.

- The Millennium Declaration set 2015 as the target date for achieving most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which established quantitative benchmarks to halve extreme poverty in all its forms. As the date approaches, less than six years away, the world finds itself mired in an economic crisis that is unprecedented in its severity and global dimensions. Progress towards the goals is now threatened by sluggish — or even negative — economic growth, diminished resources, fewer trade opportunities for the developing countries, and possible reductions in aid flows from donor nations.
