International development policy and global goals

Development policy plays a central role in reducing poverty and inequality, particularly in low-income countries. By aligning with global agendas such as the Sustainable Development Goals, it fosters capacity building, supports inclusive growth, and strengthens resilience. These policies aim to ensure that progress is both equitable and sustainable.

Aid effectiveness and policy coherence

For aid to achieve meaningful impact, it must align with local priorities, adopt clear strategies, and coordinate with other policy areas. Ensuring coherence across trade, climate, migration, and security policies prevents conflicting objectives. This integrated approach enhances effectiveness, maximises resources, and builds trust between donor and partner countries.

Global partnerships and cooperation mechanisms

Successful development cooperation depends on strong partnerships that bring together governments, civil society, and the private sector. Collaboration improves accountability, mobilises resources, and strengthens delivery capacity. By building inclusive networks, these partnerships create lasting impact, ensuring development efforts are both efficient and aligned with global priorities.
