The Millennium Declaration unleashed an unprecedented era of global development cooperation. A compact between developed and developing nations, it focused on addressing poverty, hunger, disease and some environmental issues (MDGs 1–7) in the developing world, while developed countries committed to making the resources (aid, debt relief ) and opportunities (trade, technology) available to enable developing countries to achieve those goals (MDG 8). The foundation for this formulation assumed that large investments in health, education and other social outcomes would unleash a virtuous cycle of growth and development. Achieving the MDGs was not just valuable in itself but also a driver for further development. This framing was informed by the duality between developed and developing countries that dominated perceptions of development cooperation at the turn of the century — and for considerable time before then. It saw development cooperation as a narrow ‘assistance-like’ endeavour, similar to social transfers at the national level, where money flows from those better off to the poor.
