Richest countries to give at least prosentual development assistance. Since, the amount taken from the national gross income that can make a difference.
“This 0.7 percent of Europe promised to be disbursed in 2015. It can make big changes. Maybe Europe will keep its promise, but the promise was uttered so often the question arises, what will they do, whether they are serious, and whether they will deliver , “said Jeffrey Sachs.
U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs has long been a business adviser to the UN millennium development goals. He was not tired emphasized very small number was 0.7 percent, which is seven cents from 10 Euros or Dollars will be worth.
Currently there are five European countries who not only achieve the target, but also exceeded, the Swedish, Danish, Dutch and Luxembourg. Ireland almost to the 0.7 percent target. Meanwhile, some EU countries are still far below the 0.5 per cent. United States and Japan also has yet to reach 0.3 percent. With the global financial crisis, seems to achieve the millennium development goals even further.
The problem is not only the number, but especially how the funds were distributed, thus emphasized the deputy leader of the Institute of Political Studies German Development DIE, Imme Scholz. He said, “The third aspect is the development can not be bought like that. Merpuakan This is also our experience that can lalkukan after 40 years, that provides money and knowledge is not enough, if it can not entrust the partners in developing countries who have motivation and be strategic.”
Because if it is not only measured by money, research institutions or the Global Development Center publish CGD index of international development cooperation based on the study.
There are seven factors that measure, namely direct development assistance, trade, investment, migration, environment, security and technology. In a report this CGD research institutions, state-advanced economies ranked in the bottom ten.
Germany, for example, was in 12th position with France and England. Plusnya value investing primarily in third world countries, the political environment component of development and readiness to accept humanitarian refugees.
The value is a barrier minusnya agricultural products imported from third world countries, lack of involvement in international peace missions and the low level of technology transfer.
England, in the field of investment and political environment, was also in good enough position. But the UK is ranked low in the field of technology transfer and political refugees. Especially because arms exports to countries such undemocratic Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
France is also experiencing similar problems. This country is the world’s largest exporter of supplying weapons to totalitarian states. In general, according to the report, the countries G-7, or the richest countries of the world, get a bad grade.
