2005 Global Human Development Report "International cooperation at a crossroads:Aid, trade and security in an unequal world"

International development assistance is one of the most effective weapons in the war against poverty. However, it needs to be reshaped to increase its quantity, improve its quality and predictability and reduce its transaction costs and enhance recipient country ownership. Although there was progress at Gleneagles Summit, too little aid is given and donors need to deliver on their promises.
