Development aid: British politicians of all parties sellout

as "good news" trades in the international development community at present, the fact that Britain wants to maintain even under conservative-liberal government in the increase of official development aid to 0.7%, which is already 2013. In absolute figures, this amounts to an increase in aid to 11 billion pounds a year out. What is less known, however: The British government inside out to develop cooperation in the sense of a conservative-liberal mainstreaming, which is equal to the German BMZ-tip under Niebel in any way - quite the contrary.

This week London has a "review" its aid budget announced that is currently amounts to 8.4 billion pounds, a major overhaul, so to speak, with the same characteristics as the roll back, which currently runs in the BMZ ( >>> Niebel bad governance ). In essence there are two surgical procedures: is it after the current secretary of the British government for international cooperation, Andrew Mitchell, the future of development cooperation is "a partnership with business". This will not only decide on the priorities for action and to promote "innovation in the health care system and food security", but also solve the global poverty problem. "On what planet lives Mitchell actually, "said the former as director of the Ford Foundation, Michael Edwards ( >>> Do not sell British aid to business ).

Mitchell sees - just as Niebel - in the "partnership with business" a new paradigm of development policy, along the lines of "private sector - public benefit." Wrongly assumed, however, not Edwards, will in the end, read more: "Private benefit - public subsidization" - just as the BMZ is currently held jointly with the German Chamber of Commerce and a tour that gives the German company tips how to take orders from the German aid to the country.

relates to the second surgical intervention of the British country-as redistribution of the EZ-cake. Overall, the number of beneficiaries will be reduced by 16. Empty-handed in the future countries like Burundi and Niger, which are among the poorest in the world. Instead, Pakistan is rising, the future is to get the biggest chunk of the British development cooperation. On the seventh digit of the beneficiary countries puts Afghanistan. No wonder that for the World Development Movement as the "securitization of aid," the subordination of the Year by military security concerns to a "serious concern" is.

Where London will proceed in the future is different, including the funding of multilateral organizations are likely to be UNICEF, the Global Fund (the Niebel now closed for the first time has the means - what an irony!) And received the World Food Programme in the future more resources, while the contributions to the ILO and UN-Habitat should be reduced - because of "lack of performance ('performance')": Hear, hear - what is performance, as always determine the donor!

Green Bottle Scotches

development, unite!

development politicians of all parties appear to share a common problem: In all parties - from right to left, from green to black - its theme is the fifth wheel on the wagon. Therefore, it is probably easier for them than to others, close alliances across all party boundaries. Just as there have now done six Members of the CDU, the CSU, the SPD, the Greens and the Left, with its call for a cross-party consensus to achieve the 0.7% target. This objective should by all parliamentary groups support and so partisan profiling experiments may be withdrawn.

have the developmental NGOs - who's surprised - quite enthusiastically welcomed the call: The German Agro Action spoke of a "good day for the development of policy," Misereor invented almost Wilhelmine of languages: "Fighting Poverty knows no party boundaries." This is the promise that 0.7% of gross national income of developed countries are to be used for development aid, a 40-year-old hat and was not met until today. Whether you are close to the finish line of the Millennium Development Goals 2015 made it seriously, remains to be seen.

The call of the six members is certainly a novelty. It reads as follows:

keep the promise!
call for a cross-party consensus to achieve development to share the 0.7% target
The promise of the developed nations, 0.7 percent of their gross national income to the poorest of the poor and provide for development cooperation and humanitarian assistance, is more than 40 years old.

particular, Member States of the European Union reaffirmed their pledge and concrete, and in 2005 committed themselves to achieve the 0.7% target later than 2015. There were also set binding interim targets. For example, Germany should have, for example, by 2010, ODA to reach at least 0.51%.

We have to recognize that Germany has not reached this intermediate target. Since then, the 0.7% target, there have so far all of the federal government, in principle, to know - but never set the funds in the budget, the path would have met to achieve this goal. The current federal government puts her in the coalition agreement made commitment to the 0.7% target has not been able to obtain sufficient numbers in the federal budget and the medium term financial planning.

In light of the unsatisfactory results for all ODA recent federal governments, we call on them to refrain from the blame game but now to make better together.

The example of the UK that it is possible to achieve the 0.7% target in the party political Clashes and extract to achieve broad developmental consensus in Parliament, which has been welcomed by the majority of the population. Despite the economic and financial crisis and a budget that provides for drastic austerity measures in many sectors, the UK currently increasing its spending on development cooperation and humanitarian aid and is expected to reach the 0.7% target already 2013th

After more than 40 years proclaiming the 0.7% target and almost four years before the target year 2015, it is also in Germany, high time for a party and cross-party consensus on development policy: The promise must be implemented consistently and Draft budget for 2012, and for the medium term financial plan be submitted with the 0.7% goal can actually be achieved by 2015.

To keep the promise and close the gap to ODA would need in the next four years in the federal budget funds for development cooperation and humanitarian aid grow significantly - on average each fiscal year by at least 1.2 billion euros. Complemented by innovative financial instruments could be made as a major contribution to bridging the gap ODA.

This is the face of enormous global challenges - hunger around one billion people-in truest sense of the word necessary.

Whether the necessary funds can be applied is primarily a question of priorities. Whether we refer to the need for honesty and reliability, on Christian charity, international solidarity and global justice - we feel morally obliged to insist on compliance with the 0.7% commitment and request the Cabinet and the Budget Committee of the German Bundestag to finalize the necessary points.

Of course, the effectiveness and efficiency of German and multilateral development cooperation, taking into account the policy framework be further improved. Quality and quantity must not be pitted against each other. Both must be increased to the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 to achieve yet still can.

A development-political consensus to achieve the 0.7% target should be worn by all the groups together and is responsible and so partisan profiling experiments may be withdrawn. But

be to work with this with all conviction.
