Policy Coherence of OECD Countries Matters: Evidence from East Asia

01-Feb-2005

The East Asian development experience is still not well understood – especially the region’s clustered, sequential development process and neighbourhood effects linking economies at different levels of industrial development.

With increased understanding of the issues, citizens could provide greater support for more efficient and coherent development policies as well as for more funding.

While the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are broadly supported, their financing remains problematic. The most straightforward way to avoid underfunding is to raise ODA further. This Policy Brief evaluates some new ways of financing development.
