The Seoul Development Consensus for Shared Growth is a set of principles and guidelines set up to assist the G20 nations and other global actors in working collaboratively with less developed countries in order to boost their economic growth and to achieve the UN's Millennium Development Goals. It was endorsed by the leaders of G20 nations at the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit, with a ''multi year action plan'' drafted for the delivery of tangible results. In contrast with the older Washington Consensus, the Seoul Consensus allows a larger role for state intervention. Rather than seeking to impose a uniform "top down" solution, it postulates that solutions should be tailored to the requirements of individual developing nations, with the developing countries themselves taking the lead in designing packages of reforms and policies best suited to their needs. The Washington Consensus as originally defined was a set of ten key principles. The new Consensus is based on six core principles and has nine "key pillars". ==Core Principles== The six core principles of the Seoul consensus are: * Focus on economic growth The G20 suggest that economic growth is closely linked with low income countries' (LICs) ability to achieve the ''Millennium Development Goals''. They state that measures to promote inclusive, sustainable and resilient growth should take precedence over business as usual. * Global development partnership. LICs should be treated as equal partners, with national ownership for their own development. Partnerships should be transparent and accountable. * Global or regional systemic issues. The G20 should prioritise regional or systemic issues where their collective action is best placed to deliver beneficial changes. * Private sector participation. The G20 recognise the importance of private actors in contributing to growth and suggest that policies should be business friendly. * Complementarity. The G20 will try to avoid duplicating the efforts of other global actors, focussing their efforts on areas where they have a comparative advantage. * Outcome orientation. The G20 will focus on tangible practical measures to address significant problems.〔 〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seoul Development Consensus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
