From Promise to Performance: How Rich Countries Can Help Poor Countries Help Themselves by: By Nancy Birdsall and Michael Clemens*
April 2003
Combined, the eight Goals constitute a global compact between poor and rich to
work today toward their mutual interests to secure a prosperous future. Mirroring past
domestic efforts at social integration during their own economic development, industrial
countries have in effect agreed to extend those policies and promises to poor people in
poor countries. The CGD/Foreign Policy Magazine "Commitment to Development Index"
measures and monitors the policies of rich countries that affect the poor. It provides one
mechanism to ensure that rich countries, like the developing countries, are held
accountable for their promises by their own citizens and the citizens of the world.
