Easy rich promise, but hardly give

Rich countries promised increasing amounts of development, but rarely fulfill their promises, noted out in Zyuddoyche Zeitung „analysis under the heading“ To give is more fair than to promise. “
At its last summit in Akuila leading industrial countries promised to the poor small farmers / mainly from Africa / billions to develop their activities. And although in terms of economic crisis and expensive programs to encourage industrial countries to the situation they are unable to show excessive generosity.

How is this serious time in favor?

The reason is hardly the view that aid to fight global poverty is necessary. Rather, Obama, Merkel and colleagues are worried that they will be punished politically if you refuse financial support. And in fact a G-8 is not nothing left but to help. Or to give species that do something. The experience of recent years shows that the actual allocations of donor countries are considerably more modest than the promises given during the summit. For a particularly good example is agriculture, which now needs to be encouraged by specially created fund.

A year ago many people in poor countries came to protest because of the sharp increase in prices of food products. As developing countries themselves produce very little, they have to pay for expensive imports. Even then, donors pledged 12 billion dollars in aid to small farmers, but to date this amount is not a little. While making it clear long ago that people in poor countries can get enough food at an affordable price only if the local farmers produce more recently, donors have reduced financial support particularly for agriculture.

Rich countries can podlazhat real world community for aid provided. Binding rules on government spending will support. And only limited control of the amounts. Whether such debt is part of official development assistance? Or military spending, when the army assisted reconstruction of a country?

Especially absurd promises

Such promises seem to support development in the context of trade policy in industrial countries. They subsidized agriculture to such an extent that villagers from rich countries can run surpluses in the market with dumping prices. While the industrial countries continue to insist that poor countries should reduce their protective duties.

Ie small peasant from Zambia, which is managed by foreign aid to acquire any other cow has no chance because his compatriots buy imported milk powder with a low price due to subsidies. While industrial countries held such a policy, any development aid is useless.
