This symposium, organised by the Development Studies Network at the Australian National University in collaboration with the National Institute for Social Sciences and Law; Deakin University; Massey University, New Zealand; and the National Museum of Australia, will bring together internationally recognised social scientists, aid donors, aid recipients, personnel from government, non-government and multilateral aid organisations, community leaders, academics and aid workers to discuss perspectives on improving future development assistance. The symposium will consider new structures and strategies for planning and delivering assistance and for measuring its impact. Papers will include discussion on the likely effectiveness of new multilateral aid initiatives including the consensus model of assistance and the Millennium Goals, together with new approaches to community development. A series of case studies will be presented. Four panel discussions will provide opportunity for a variety of perspectives. A half-day round table discussion will be held for participants following the symposium to enable high level debate and decision-making. With assistance from AusAID, the output from the symposium and round table discussion together with supporting papers will be published in a special issue of the journal Development Bulletin.
