Development Beyond Aid

From the Consultation Document:

What can the UK and other governments do to help developing countries to grow while also managing environmental dangers?

What further international action against corruption – such as bribery, money laundering, tax havens, trafficking and organised crime – should be taken?

How can international migration be managed better – so that migrants can safely pursue opportunities in a way which benefits both their own countries and those to which they move?

What could be done at a national, regional and international level to help ensure consistency between development and other policies?

Supplementary questions:

Are the issues raised in the speech the ones that will have the greatest impact on developing countries?

• What role should development agencies play in finding a global solution to climate change?
• What role can the international community – including the private sector - play in promoting good natural resource management and public procurement?
• What more can the international community do to prevent conflict and support security in developing countries?
