Atar, Mauritania, November 2008
will be my core topic. I am convinced me that this is the thing, which should move up in the list of popular topics. Just have a look at these numbers:
ODA/GNI i.e. Official Development Assistance/Gross National Income
Official Development Assistance 2007 2006
Czech Republic ......................... 0.11 0.12
Hungary ................................. 0.08 0.13
Poland ................................... 0.09 0.09
Slovak Republic ....................... 0.09 0.10

But how much 0.09 really is? It is hard for a chemist to imagine what it exactly means in practical terms. In Slovakia, it is 12 euro/person/year. 2 drinks less on Friday night.
How much should it be? The members of the UN committed that a developed country would contribute with a minimum net amount of 0.70 percent of its GNI.
Numbers say a lot, but not everything. The real question is about how is this money used and whether it is good at all to influence development in every corner of the world? Let's think together...
