But aid will not be
But aid will not be successful without conflict prevention, good governance
and zero tolerance of corruption.We will work for faster repatriation
of stolen assets from UK financial institutions, ratification of the
UN Convention on corruption, and more open and accountable
reporting of revenues from oil and mining – that so often fuel local
conflicts. Our commitment is to the people of the developing world;
our contract is with their governments for reform. But if poor countries
are committed to good governance and poverty reduction we
then believe they should be in control of their own policies.We will end
the practice of making aid conditional on sensitive economic policy
choices, such as trade liberalisation and privatisation.
