What have we learned from this workshop? • International aid have played a special important role in developing countries including China. International aid will be still needed and should be increased. • How to manage aid effectively keeps a problem. Traditional donors have more lessons than experiences, and the emerging donors lack of experiences how to deliver assistance. Both need to increase the dialogue and cooperation.
China’s successful development and poverty reduction sets a model for the developing world. But the model can not be simply understood by one or two models. There are a lot of factors decided the success. • From the assessment on the workshops and the field visit in Africa, some experiences can be shared and learned by the developing countries.
IPRCC is a special platform to exchange the experiences to the developing countries, the key issue is how to make the experienceInternationalization. • IPRCC is also a good platform for cooperation on poverty reduction in Africa.
