In his lecture on “ODA and beyond – understanding the new dynamics in global development” Angel Gurría will share his perspectives on the evolving landscape of global development. He will discuss how development co-operation and foreign aid fit into this landscape. As financial flows and policies beyond Official Development Assistance (ODA) gain importance, what is the role of ODA in promoting global development, poverty reduction, growth and innovation? What is at stake at the upcoming Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Korea? And how is OECD work evolving to meet new global development needs?
