On first glance a comprehensive policy paper. References with linkage to other agencies, NGO's and the U.N., all relevant and important.

 

Are there any comparisons with policies of other liberal parties and governments outside the U.K.

 

Benchmarking and comparisons of an international nature, for international policies, seems like a good way to source new idea's (and not reinvent the wheel), and enhance our policy initiatives.

As a long standing believer in International Development and a practitioner in various areas of the world I will be interested in reading this document.

I would like to see international development spent on low-income countries. It is unacceptable that India receives the largest portion of UK development aid when it has the money to pursue nuclear weapons and space programmes.

I would prefer to see the government moving development aid from the large projects that dont work towards projects that improve things in the local community.
This would fit in well with a liberal approach of empowering individuals and communities to help themselves and would ensure that the things needed for a particular community actually got put in place.

Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm very interested in the developing world, having lived and worked in India for some years. I work as an independent emerging markets consultant for a range of agencies, including the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Jane's, Dun and Bradstreet, Business Monitor and others. I am keen to participate in LibDem policy formation. I've not been very involved with the party, have not networked with anyone and don't really know who to approach.

What about Climate change...this is going to a huge problem for the 3rd World and they will need help. How much do we commit to help them on this road.
