The UK Labour Party has a new pamphlet out with ideas for future development policy, labelled "Beyond Aid."
How does it measure up?
CGD looks at 7 components of "Commitment to Development" in the annual index; aid, trade, migration, security, environment, technology, and finance.
Labour's pamphlet talks extensively about 2 of the 6 non-aid components of the index: the environment and security.
There is next to nothing on trade, migration, technology, and finance.
Out of 26 countries, the UK ranks 4th overall which is pretty good. Though that varies a lot between the components; Aid (4), Trade (7), Finance (2), Migration (13), Environment (11), Security (7), Technology (20).
There's more to International Development than Aid, but also more than climate change and security.
