NOW IN ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL EDITION,The Reality of Aid 2000 looks at how the performance of OECD donor countries on aid and development cooperation has matched up to the challenge of eliminating absolute poverty.The report charts some improvements at the level of donor policy and rhetoric. But its stark conclusion is that the potential of aid to combat poverty is constantly undermined by governments, both North and South, who fail to address the extreme inequalities of income and the structural, social and political injustices that entrench people in poverty.Part I of The Reality of Aid 2000 presents an overview of poverty in the current global context and an analysis ofrecent trends in aid - looking particularly at basic education. In Part II, chapters by experts from NGOs inOECD countries and the European Union show how donor aid administrations approach poverty - and highlight the weakness of political commitment in the North to the needs of the poor. Part III sets out Southern perspectives on development cooperation. Part IV provides at a glance comparisons of donors aid outlook and commitment to development cooperation in the 21st century, poverty eradication, gender and public support.Throughout the book, information is presented in easily interpreted diagrams and graphs.The Reality of Aid has established itself as a unique source of independent evaluation and comment on aid policies and development.
