| Abstract | In the fast-evolving landscape of development financing, this chapter asks What role now for official development assistance? For many years, it has made a difference for millions of people all over the world – will this continue to be the case in the future given the economic crisis in Europe, the rise in private sector development finance, the growing reliance on domestic taxes to fuel development, and the strengthening role of co-operation among countries of the South? The answer to the question is yes, but only if aid gets smart: in other words if it’s effective, well-targeted (to the poorest countries and communities) and well co-ordinated. The author outlines key steps for making aid (official development assistance or ODA) smart enough to help the global community end poverty. These include ensuring that development assistance adapts nimbly and effectively to the needs, challenges and priorities that will define the post-2015 development framework; establishing a new development finance framework that brings together all the options provided by OECD countries – not only ODA; and holding each other accountable through an internationally recognised, open and transparent system to report on and publicise development financing efforts and the resources that actually flow to developing countries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
