Aid & development linkage

by Danielle Cave - 21 October 2010 8:41AM

  • What does the doubling of Australia's aid program mean for the Pacific? Is a short-and-sharp review of Australia's aid strategy needed to guide the way? This and more discussed here.
  • Andrew Hewett (Oxfam), Stephen Howes (ANU) and Robin Davies (AusAID) took part in last week's Lowy Institute panel discussion that analysed the decisions underpinning the doubling of Australia's aid program and what Australia should be focused on following the recent UN MDG summit in New York. This video recording of the panel is well worth watching.

  • Data guru Hans Rosling shows that Sweden is off-track on the Millennium Development Goals.
  • The Australian National University's new development policy blog looks at the UK's ten-point plan for better aid.

Interpreting the Aid Review

This is the archive of a Lowy Institute blog which ran from January to April of 2011. It was published to debate the Gillard Government's independent aid review, which was then in its research and consultation phase. We offer this archive as a service to researchers and the general public.
