Challenges for spanish cooperation / Comment

Early on, it was recognised that reducing global poverty and meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) require more of developed countries than the provision of substantial and effective aid.
Designing and implementing coherent non-aid policies in areas such as trade, agriculture, fisheries, migration, security and environment are important as well.
