ONE submission to the Labour Party’s Policy Review: “Tackling global inequality and promoting sustainable development in a changing world”
The Labour Party has a distinguished history on international development. The creation of DFID, setting the country on a path to 0.7% and showing global leadership at the Gleneagles G8 summit in terms of aid, debt relief and trade and development policy are just some of the major achievements of recent years. The 2011 policy review is a welcome opportunity to update and refresh the party’s policy base for a rapidly changing world. Africa, in particular, is changing in ways that challenge traditional stereotypes: a continent of nearly one billion consumers with economic growth projected to be nearly 6% annually over the next five years. Not only is it a place of growing economic opportunities, it is seeing improving transparency in both public and private sectors and increasing democratisation. Its relationships with the rest of the world are also changing. These are no longer just one-way relationships where aid is given and received, but are increasingly based on sound investment and trade opportunities and more equal partnerships. However, at the same time Africa continues to face great challenges; the continent and its people need to grow more food, improve education access and standards, keep more people healthy and respond to the challenge of climate change that will hit it hardest.
