There is now growing agreement that as we work together to fight terrorism we must also work together to address the causes of poverty - not just because to do so is central to long term national security and peace, but because to do so is right - a moral imperative, an economic necessity and a social duty.
The proposal in this pamphlet involves not just a new approach to poverty and development that refocuses development aid - treating it as investment for the future - but also a new deal for the global economy. This new deal is grounded in both new opportunities for, and new responsibilities accepted by, developed and developing countries alike. It seeks to build the economic foundations for a virtuous circle of debt relief, poverty reduction and sustainable development and to ensure that the world's poor can earn a fair share in the benefits of global prosperity.
