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. The Labour Party’s policy review should address both the challenges and opportunities in global development, particularly in Africa. More

Civil Society letter to the G20 anti-corruption working group
ONE welcomed the creation of a G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group at the Seoul summit. It has the potential to advance initiatives that improve domestic resource mobilisation, and cut the corruption and embezzlement that too often short changes ordinary citizens. On February 11th we signed a joint civil society letter to the working group highlighting some key areas we are asking them to progress on. These include ratification of the UN Convention Against Corruption, facilitating the recovery of stolen assets, country-by-country reporting and protection for whistleblower. Read the full letter here. More
