	Think Tanks:
		The key goals of this research program put forth by the Overseas Development Council are to shape the evolving development cooperation agenda through analysis of key development programs and to contribute ideas and influence decision making on the redesign and future financing of multilateral development efforts.
		Development institutions should be aware of the special needs of those countries that have endured conflict and the impact that war has on populations.
		Integration must be done on the terms of the developing nations after judging their own capabilities to handle the inevitable transitions that follows liberalization and not by the terms set by global marks or multilateral institutions.

	The global development agenda in 2007 Simon Maxwell - openDemocracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Though Africa will continue to grow, in aggregate faster than developed countries, it will become clear just how big a share of this is the result of high prices for oil and other commodities - and how little the poor benefit from enclave-based growth.
		Third, attempts to revive the Doha trade round will run into the buffers until at least 2009, as the expiry of the United States fast-track opportunity in the summer of 2007 means that any deal becomes embroiled in Congress and in the politics of the 2008 presidential election.
		In the UK, Gordon Brown can be expected to produce the odd surprise for international development during his 100-day honeymoon and renewal process - perhaps an enlarged role for the department of international development (DfID) in brokering global deals on trade or climate change.

	EUROPA - Rapid - Press Releases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Some in the development and foreign policy worlds still believe there is a hard and fast distinction to be made between development and foreign policy, or foreign and domestic policy.
		And we are particularly conscious of developing countries’ vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change due to changing patters of rainfall, food production and freshwater supplies.
		The development community is clearly shifting towards a greater understanding of the complexity and inter-connectedness of the issues we face, and away from a narrow focus on levels of aid.

		Although crop pests and disease vectors are widely perceived as threats to agricultural production and human health, the beneficial contributions of insects to rural livelihoods and their wider role in ecosystem functions tend to be overlooked.
		Future development initiatives should focus on specific processes and functions performed by insects, such as pollination, nutrient recycling, population regulation and biological control, and the wider promotion and exploitation of insects as food.
		Biodiversity studies should concentrate on the promotion of novel means of enhancing rural livelihoods, and the demonstration of innovative husbandry practices, incorporating the maintenance of species diversity through the selective conservation of natural habitats.

		Since the late 1990s, a new paradigm of effective aid has emerged, that, at least in principle, is based on the concepts of country ownership, partnership, and mutual accountability.
		Donors have come to recognise that recipient country ownership is essential to the effectiveness of aid and development efforts.
		It has become increasingly evident that ownership of specific policy measures or programmes, and good governance in general, can only be achieved if recipient governments begin to take a more proactive role in determining how aid is allocated and managed.

	ODI Bushmeat and Livelihoods Research Project
		The future ability of the rural poor to benefit from the resource is at risk - and this has important livelihood and social safety net implications, and is an evident threat to the conservation of biodiversity.
		Insufficient consideration is given to the social character of the production and trade in wild meat, its role in livelihoods and food security, as well as the feasibility of management options.
		Until recently, research on the bushmeat industry has mostly been driven by conservation priorities, and livelihoods concerns have tended to be secondary and contingent.

	The Future of Small Farms: A Research Workshop
		In this context, it is easy to conclude that commercial farming and high-value crops should be the focus of investment for agricultural growth.
		Yet, this argument misses the numerous examples of successful small farm development around the world and the potential that pro-poor agricultural growth strategies have to slash poverty and hunger.
		The question of the future viability of small farms is the subject of an academic and political debate that has gained particular attention lately because many donors and countries have expressed a renewed commitment to the role of agricultural development for growth and poverty reduction.

		These changes are occurring without overall political or technical direction because there is no central aid architect to define the direction of change and hence to ensure that the effectiveness of the aid that is delivered is increased.
		At the same time as these developments, various international political groupings including the G8, G20, the Commonwealth Secretariat and La Francophonie are taking a greater interest in the reform of the international aid system.
		More direct government and civil society engagement in these fora has the potential to build the trust and mutual accountability required for full implementation of Paris as well as the collective action required for significant UN reform.
