Investing in Development: A Practical Plan to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals is, in many ways, an impressive piece of work. The document in full runs to ten supporting volumes and more than 3,000 pages. The overview paper is packed with high-octane analysis and recommendations. Its aim is no less than to dispel the prevailing pessimism on aid and to mobilise hundreds of billions of dollars in new help for the developing world. In this, it might succeed. Whether it deserves to is another question. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were adopted at a United Nations summit in 2000. They have already begun to shape the policies, as well as the rhetoric, of institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. For the first time, in thinking about development, governments are having to frame their policies around specific intended outcomes rather than policy inputs. Because of the MDGs, allocations of aid, or targets for budget deficits or other policy settings, are no longer front and centre. These and other inputs are increasingly being tested against the final goals. The question now is what policy inputs will be required to hit the targets.
