Credit: Reuters/Jason Reed By Patrick Worsnip and Lesley Wroughton UNITED NATIONS | Wed Sep 22, 2010 11:26pm EDT UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - President Barack Obama called on Wednesday for new ways to tackle global poverty and said his administration would focus its help to the poor on promoting economic growth and fighting corruption. Obama told a special U.N. summit that for too long progress in fighting poverty was measured by the sums spent to deliver food and medicine -- a practice that had saved lives in the short term but not always helped poor countries develop. "We need more than just aid to unleash that change," Obama told the 192-nation General Assembly, advancing what he called a new U.S. global development policy. "We need to harness all the tools at our disposal -- from our diplomacy to our trade and investment policies." The three-day summit ended by adopting a declaration agreed earlier this month, which promised intensified efforts by the 192 U.N. member states to achieve the world body's so-called Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Obama's 20-minute address emphasized points already made by leaders of several major Western economies, who have called for a results-based approach to aid instead of simply throwing money at development problems. The new approach coincides with severe budget problems in many rich countries in the wake of the global financial crisis, but America's first president of African heritage -- his father was Kenyan -- said overall U.S. aid would not decline. Saying America needed to be "big-hearted and hard-headed," he said Washington would seek partnership with countries that emphasized policies that promote economic growth and accountability and tackled corruption. "Let's move beyond the old, narrow debate over how much money we're spending and let's instead focus on results -- whether we're actually making improvements in people's lives," said Obama, whose speech was greeted with lengthy applause. The United States would also reach out to countries making the transition to democracy, and from war to peace, he said, adding that he hoped that would include Sudan. "The purpose of development -- and what's needed most right now -- is creating the conditions where assistance is no longer needed," said Obama. "So we will seek partners who want to build their own capacity to provide for their people." That meant not just handing out food to the needy but also helping countries develop their agricultural sectors, improve crop yields and help farmers get their products to market. HELPING WOMEN AND CHILDREN International aid group Oxfam said Obama's speech had clarified the U.S. approach to fighting poverty. Several development experts had criticized the Obama administration for its lack of leadership on development issues. British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said developing nations "must understand that they will not receive a blank check" but acknowledged that Britain's economic trouble "does not compare to the abject pain and destitution of others." Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said developed countries should carry out their promises. "The assistance should be selfless and have no strings attached," he said. 1 2 Next World Health United Nations Comments See All Comments (4) | Post Comment Sep 22, 2010 10:32pm EDT Nowhere in any speech given at the UN this year have the words “throw money at” appeared. That’s a Republican talking point first used my Michael Deaver, one of a list of buzzwords submitted to him by the PR firm he was using at the time, the thrust of which are to halt discussion without having to address the issue at hand. The writers need to keep their Republican biases to themselves and not write off every effort ever made to feed starving people with expressions like that. You need to look at each instance and judge it by its merits. If you need instruction in reporting just email me. kw6238b Report As Abusive Sep 23, 2010 12:03am EDT Sounds like Obama took a page out of China’s way of dealing with poverty in African nations. JRZ Report As Abusive Sep 23, 2010 1:54am EDT This is pretty rich coming from an Elitist sympathizing President, who has been proclaimed to be the worst President the United States has ever had! A man who has brought the USA to bankruptcy and to the depths of the newest Third World Country, while they have an unemployment rate of 9.6%, in truth more like 20%, as the country is now like the depression of the 1930’s and people are lined up at the soup kitchens and Employment offices! Right were Globalist Bilderberger “David Rockefeller”, wanted the USA to be as he proclaimed many years ago that he wanted to de-industrialize America! That was one of his goals, his other goal was to Cull the population, nice people these and we’ve got his brother Jay in Government in Virginia – isn’t that nice? The United Nations along with the International Monetary Fund are a pack of Scallywags, Global Elitists and Rogues who couldn’t Ascertain any funds from their fraud Carbon Tax – now want to play the same scam using poverty of third world countries! If left to the United Nations they will have met their goal of Culling Population as Gordon Brown spoke for in a G20 Summit, and ten years from now they will still be asking us to hand out money for the starving in Third world countries! The UN make out they are running a charitable cause, and basically embarass and extort countries who don’t give Big time – what they’d really like is to get their hooks on the world vial a “Poverty Tax” and take away Sovereign countries Sovereignty! The reality is very little of that money ever shows or reflects benefits for third world countries and I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that the biggest portion of it ends up lining the Global Elite’s pockets and the bank vaults of the IMF! Btok Report As Abusive Sep 23, 2010 2:34am EDT American Industry has indeed done more for world poverty than anything else on earth. China and American industry formed a relationship where American industry taught the Chinese nation how to become as productive as America. The Chinese have provided Americans with decades of inexpensive goods. As China becomes more innovative they will teach Americans how to produce the new innovations they develop. Had we just sent them rice and medicine they would still be one of the poorest nations in the world. We need to embrace all innovation and encourage other nations to become self supportive. As the world becomes more innovative peoples throughout the world can benefit eachother. Fear and Hatred must be overcome by the sharing of innovation and productivity. America must encourage it’s innovators in order to remain a viable economic partner. andyrussell Report As Abusive See All Comments (4) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
