21. 由于收入很低 本国储蓄不足以为投资提供资金 以便开始和持续实现增长 因此非洲和更大程度上撒哈拉以南非洲需要大量外部资源流入 会议进一步指出 非洲国家已经进行了深入改革 但是没有得到相应的外部援助 与此相反 官方发展援助缩减外国直接投资数额仍然很低 外债负担越来越沉重由于实际资金流量很少 这种情况显示所需要的资金和已经获得的资金之间存在着很大的越来越大的差距 因此 参加小组讨论者强调需要注入大量资源以便大力推动打破这种贫穷恶性循环 开始时 这些资源可以只来自官方来源 因此官方发展援助需要加倍 从目前的每年 100 亿美元增加到 200 亿美元 而且这种高水平至少保持十年 虽然需要额外资源 也必须制定适当政策和战略来有效利用这些资源
21. Due to the low levels of income, domestic savings are insufficient to finance investment to kick-start and sustain growth, as a result of which Africa and to a greater extent sub-Saharan Africa needed large external resource inflows. It was further pointed out that the intensive reforms that African countries have implemented have not been matched by commensurate external assistance. On the contrary, ODA has declined, foreign direct investment (FDI) has remained low and the debt burden has grown more onerous. Contrasting this with actual flows, there is a large and growing gap between what is required and what is available. Panellists therefore underlined the need for large inflow of resources to provide a big push to break out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Initially these resources could come only from official sources, and ODA would thus need to be doubled from its current level of US$ 10 billion to US$ 20 billion per annum and maintained at that higher level at least for a period of 10 years. Although additional resources are necessary, the need to put in place appropriate policies and strategies for their effective utilization is important.
