  24. Goal 8 : Develop a global partnership for development. • Target 12 : Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system. Includes a commitment to good governance, development, and poverty reduction – both nationally and internationally. • Take your guess at what the target might mean. • Democratic project structures run by the people. • Inbuilt social security system guarantees participation for all. • Local money system gives purchasing power to all. • Interest-free, cost-free cooperative micro-credit system for productivity development. • Role of women. • Relations with other project areas and local money systems. • Formal currency relations in the host country. • Formal import-export relations.

  27. Goal 8 : Develop a global partnership for development. • Sub-target 14 : Address the special needs of the landlocked countries and small island states. • Model concepts apply without modification to landlocked countries, small island states, poor urban areas, including poor rural and urban areas in industrialised countries.

  28. Goal 8 : Develop a global partnership for development. • Target 15 : Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries through national and international measures in order to make debt sustainable over the long term. • Interest-bearing debt is by definition not sustainable as it necessarily causes financial leakage from poor areas to rich ones. • Financial leakage one of the main causes of poverty. • Purpose : to create a good quality of life for everyone in each project area. • "Money is not the key that opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them". Gesell Silvio, The Natural Economic Order, revised English edition, Peter Owen, London 1958, page 228.

  31. Goal 8 : Develop a global partnership for development. • Target 18 : In cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications technologies. • Interests of elites in industrialised and developing countries. • More holy cows. • Centralisation of structures. • Financial leakage from poor areas. • Careful choice of applications needed. • Local radio station. • Radio-telephones, pigeons, messengers, bongos and smoke signals.

  32. Why it is so easy to monitor project results . • Each project covers a small surface area. • Structures the same throughout the project area. • Structures serve all inhabitants without selection or exclusion. • Most structures are visible and materially verifiable. • Statistical data available from standard day-to-day registration of activities. • Available data mostly valid in real time.

  33. Some inherent limitations of the Millennium goals • Compromises on compromises on compromises…….. • Half-pies in the sky. Eradicate “extreme” poverty and hunger. The tale of the 50%. Too bad, you must belong to the other 50%. • Lots of private parts: Section 60 of the Plan of implementation :“(a) Provide access to potable domestic water, hygiene education and improved sanitation and waste management at the household level through initiatives to encourage public and private investment in water supply and sanitation ……while respecting local conditions involving all concerned stakeholders……” Search for the key development words: “interest”, “monoculture”, “local economies”, “micro-economic” “local production” “financial leakage.

  34. Inherent limitations • This is article 83 of the Implementation Plan: • “83. In our common pursuit of growth, poverty eradication and sustainable development, a critical challenge is to ensure the necessary internal conditions for mobilizing domestic savings, both public and private, sustaining adequate levels of productive investment and increasing human capacity. A crucial task is to enhance the efficacy, coherence and consistency of macroeconomic policies. An enabling domestic environment is vital for mobilizing domestic resources, increasing productivity, reducing capital flight, encouraging the private sector and attracting and making effective use of international investment and assistance. Efforts to create such an environment should be supported by the international community.” • WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT MEAN?

  35. Inherent limitations • About article 83 of the Implementation Plan: • DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS. • Which conditions are necessary to mobilise “public and private domestic savings” ? • How and by whom are they to be “mobilised” ? • “Sustain adequate levels of productive investment”. • Investment by whom? Productive in which way? • “Productive investment” is “crucial” “to enhance the efficiacy, coherence and consistency of macroeconomic policies”. • Which policies? Which criteria are to be followed to make them “efficient, coherent and consistent.” ? • An “enabling domestic environment” is said to be one that encourages the private sector, and makes effective use of “international investment and assistance”. • The international community’s job is to make sure that suitable “enabling domestic environments” are created.
