Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andy Reed (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 20 January 2010 on behalf of the Department for International Development.
Ministerial Meeting (Sweden)
- Question
- Sweden obviously has a good record in delivering aid and meeting the target of 0.7 per cent. of GDP. What lessons is it learning, and what can the Minister learn, about the effectiveness of long-term good governance as the way of meeting our millennium development goals by 2015?
- Answer
-
The tragic situation in Haiti reminds us all of the centrality and importance of basic Government services being delivered, and the very damaging consequences where those services are not present. That is why, in one of our previous White Papers, there was a specific focus on governance, which continues to be a central theme of the work that we do in the Department.
