Summary
Stresses the importance of domestic policies to mobilize and allocate domestic resources for the eradication of poverty through, inter alia, the creation of employment and income-generating programmes, with particular reference to households headed by women, the implementation of food security, health, education, housing and population programmes and the strengthening of national capacity-building execution programmes; reiterates its request to the international community to adopt specific and effective measures designed to increase financial flows to developing countries, and urges the developed countries which have reaffirmed their commitments to reach the accepted UN target of 0.7 per cent of gross national product for official development assistance, to agree to augment their aid programmes in order to reach that target as soon as possible; urges all donors to contribute generously to the 10th replenishment of the International Development Association, to the 4th replenishment of IFAD, and other international financial institutions with a view to ensuring that those institutions continue in their fight against poverty, especially in rural areas; reaffirms that, with respect to the transfer of technology on favourable terms including concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed effective modalities should be examined with a view to implementing and enhancing that transfer as soon as possible; welcomes the decision of UNCTAD at its 8th session to set up a Standing Committee on Poverty Alleviation and to request the Trade and Development Board to attach high priority to its work.
