World Summit on Food Security (UN FAO, Rome, 16–18 November 2009)

It may not be scientific, but it was interesting to hear journalists passing judgement among themselves on the 2009 World Food Summit organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. ‘A waste of time and money’, one told this author. ‘What did it achieve? Nothing.’ The BBC and other news crews had already packed up their gear and departed well before the final day because, they said, the story had gone: ‘Our editorial desks have lost interest in it’.

Global Finance and Development

The author reports on this conference, held in Tokyo in 1999, which brought together leading development thinkers and practitioners, and finance experts. The main discussions are summarised, often with reference to the recent Asian financial crisis, and the author states that the IMF's apparent neglect of the link between finance and development was worrying, and evidence of the need for its reform.

Europe and the South in the Twenty-First Century: Challenges for Renewed Co-operation

The author reports on the triennial conference of the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI), held in Paris in 1999. He found a disturbing lack of historical analysis and awareness, and a surprising dearth of discussion of the value of knowledge, or information sharing, in the North-South relationship of the future.

“Réinventer la redevabilité pour le 21ème siècle”, AccountAbility

Dans son compte rendu de la conférence annuelle de 2005 d’AccountAbility, Jenny Hyatt observe que l’“industrie de la redevabilité” impulsée par les pays du Nord se soucie surtout de prédire les résultats et de contrôler les ressources et laisse donc largement passer la nature morale et politique de la redevabilité sur le plan de la promotion de l’équité et de l’intégrité et se soucie peu de l’échec à apprendre et à encourager l’apprentissage.
