Presentation/s:

A sea change is unfolding in the world of international development cooperation. Emerging powers, particularly China and India, are increasing their aid rapidly, while aid from traditional donors is stagnating. Why have Asian countries expanded their development cooperation activities? What do they think of the UN Millennium Development Goals? And what should replace them? Is the G20 development agenda relevant? What is the future of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank?

This forum was presented by the Development Policy Centre at the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University and the Asia Foundation.
