Description

Abstract Considerable additional funds at globally coordinated disposal are recognized as needed to fulfil the social objectives that the world has officially adopted. There are potential routes to obtaining these funds that avoid the political difficulties that 'donor' countries commonly experience in attempts to increase their budgeted Overseas Development Assistance. International tax cooperation can also put large additional fiscal resources at the disposal of developing-country governments--at no cost, and indeed positive fiscal advantage, to most of the OECD countries. Some efficient and equitable devices for enhancing local-government finance have yet to be fully exploited in many countries. Community mobilization, appropriately structured, can greatly enhance the amenities and earning power of poor rural and urban people, while also potentially promoting social harmony. Private fortunes constitute a large potential source of development finance, until recently largely untapped, that may be attracted through the new institutions that are coming into being. By means of appropriate incentives, commercial enterprise may have its research and development capacities harnessed to the needs of the world's poor. Non-governmental organizations have shown their capacity for acting as intermediaries in channelling finance effectively and efficiently, from official and unofficial donors and potentially the financial markets, for the development of the small household enterprises of very poor people.
