Looks at how the performance of OECD donor countries on aid and development cooperation has matched up to the challenge of eliminating absolute poverty. This report charts some improvements at the level of donor policy and rhetoric. It also sets out Southern perspectives on development cooperation.

Focuses on basic education, as a right and not a privilege, and its role in development cooperation and poverty elimination. This title includes ten chapters offering analysis of development cooperation from the perspective of southern NGOs. Many of these focus on basic education and raise issues around transparency, gender and civil society.

Presents a comprehensive and rigorous independent analysis of the aid and development policies of the world's richest nations, and exposes the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This title presents a consideration of the issues in development cooperation in the context of globalisation and the increasing importance of private aid flows.

A title that critically examines the reality behind the rhetoric of development assistance, and the discrepancy between the targets that the 21 member countries of the OECD Development Assistance Committee are publicly committed to and the aid that is actually disbursed.

The world's population is ageing. The majority of older people live in the developing world, where unprecedented growth in the number of older people has major implications for economies, health systems, housing, working patterns and family relationships. This book examines themes such as community involvement, family life, and poverty.
