14. In the absence of domestic ownership, national governments have little incentive to implement policy reforms. The failure of structural adjustment policies in the 1980S and 1990S, for example, is ascribed to the lack of ownership over policies prescribed by the donor and multilateral agencies, but for which there was little domestic political support.

Of 20 HIPC countries that have reached the decision point, debt service payments will be higher in 2003-2005 than in 1998-2000 in four cases and for a further six countries the reduction in payments will be less than $15 million; see The Least Developed Countries Report 2002: Escaping the Poverty Trap, UNCTAD, 2002: 209.

There is considerable agreement on the necessary ingredients at the macroeconomic policy level (e.g., non-inflationary fiscal and monetary policy) as well as at the microeconomic level (heath, education, access to credit, and an institutional framework that includes responsiveness and accountability of government, well-functioning regulation, etc.) but these do not comprise a sufficient list and may be needed in different orders of priority by different countries.
