12 July - UN Development Cooperation Forum Ministerial Meeting, New York.
This forum analysed trends in aid quantity, effectiveness and allocation; accountability and transparency; South-South and decentralized cooperation; the impact of food, financial and climate crises on aid; and an agenda to improve aid beyond 2010. DFI contributed to drafting the UN Secretary-General's report to the meeting, which can be seen here. The results of the meeting will feed into the process of negotiating the September MDG Summit outcome document, as well as into the UN International Development Cooperation Report which will be published in September.
