In today's interdependent global economy, aid alone cannot end poverty and create growth. OECD countries are committed to a global partnership based on mutual accountability between the developed and developing worlds. That means improving policy coherence -- a donor's aid to boost a developing country's ability to engage in trade makes no sense if the donor then blocks imports from that country through trade barriers or trade-distorting subsidies. In 2002, OECD Ministers adopted “The OECD Action for a shared Development Agenda”. In this framework, the OECD has set up a cross-cutting programme to: - analyse the impacts of OECD policies on developing countries; OECD policies in areas such as agriculture, trade, investment, and migration should take account of developing country needs and interests. At the same time, development co-operation needs to integrate the findings and best practices from OECD policies. This type of policy synergy will improve policy coherence for development.
