迫切需要扭转最近出现的官方发展援助减少的趋势，迫切需要提高援助水平，以达到所设的国际商定的国内总收入0.7％的目标。
It is imperative that the recent reduction in official development assistance (ODA) be reversed and that levels be raised urgently to meet the established, internationally agreed target of 0.7 per cent of gross national income.
此外，官方发展援助的流向必须是关键优先领域，从而最大限度地发挥其发展效益。
ODA flows also need be directed to key priority areas that will optimize their development impact.
此类领域之一是促进对农业和乡村地区发展的投资。
One such area is the promotion of investment in agriculture and rural development.
此类投资对确保粮食安全至关重要，尤其是在现在生产生物燃料的新时代。
Such investment is critical to ensure food security, especially in this new age of biofuel production.
没有此类投资，到2015年减少贫困与饥饿状况的全球努力将大打折扣。
Without it, global efforts to reduce poverty and hunger by 2015 will be severely undermined.
圭亚那欢迎最近发表的《2008年世界发展报告》，报告强调农业在实现千年发展目标和促进可持续发展方面的重要性。
Guyana welcomes the recently published World Development Report 2008, which calls attention to the importance of agriculture in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the promotion of sustainable development.
报告指出，虽然世界贫困人口75％居住在发展中国家农村地区，但是官方发展援助仅有4％用于农业。
As the report observes, while 75 per cent of the world's poor live in rural areas in developing countries, a mere 4 per cent of official development assistance (ODA) goes to agriculture.
报告进一步指出，通过农业部门的国内生产总值增长提高极端贫困人口收入，其效率比通过自其他部门增长高四倍。
It further notes that growth in gross domestic product (GDP) originating in agriculture is about four times more effective in raising the incomes of extremely poor people than GDP growth originating outside the sector.
因此，提高促进农业发展和粮食安全的投资量应当是今后发展融资工作的一项关键目标。
A key goal of future efforts in financing for development should therefore be to increase the levels of investment in the promotion of agricultural development and food security.
本月早些时候，圭亚那有幸主办英联邦各国财政部长会议。
Earlier this month, Guyana was honoured to host the Commonwealth Finance Ministers Meeting.
会上经过讨论认识到，全球升温和气候变化对小国和其他环境薄弱发展中国家的增长与发展，有严重的负面影响。
From discussions at the Meeting emerged the recognition that the effects of global warming and climate change have serious negative implications for the growth and development of small States and for other environmentally vulnerable developing economies.
我在这一讲坛上重申英联邦各国财政部长的呼吁，希望全球努力调动财政资源，通过共同框架支持这些国家。
From this rostrum, I reiterate the call made by Commonwealth finance ministers for global efforts to mobilize financial resources to support those countries through common frameworks.
为确保可持续发展，在增加资源流动的同时，还必须提高全球经济、贸易和环境政策的一致性。
To ensure sustainable development, increased resource flows must go hand in hand with greater coherence in global economic, trade and environment policies.
政策不一致对我国这样的小国和加勒比地区其他国家的影响显而易见，这些国家最近看到食糖和贸易优惠制度迅速瓦解，没有适当的过渡安排。
The effects of the lack of coherence are all too evident for small countries such as my own, and others in the Caribbean that have recently witnessed the precipitous dismantlement of preferential sugar and trade regimes without adequate transitional arrangements.
需要相当数额新的和额外的资源，使我们这些国家的生产部门现代化，以便我们各国能在全球经济中竞争。
Significant new and additional resources will be needed to modernize our productive sectors so that our countries can compete in the global economy.
我们在期待明年将在多哈举行的审查《蒙特雷共识》执行情况的发展筹资问题国际后续会议，此时此刻，我们看到贸易谈判多哈回合促进发展的许诺还没有实现。
As we look forward to next year's Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development to Review the Implementation of the Monterrey Consensus, which is to be held in Doha, we are reminded that the development promise of the Doha Round of trade negotiations has yet to be fulfilled.
这次新的多哈会议将使各国再次有机会确保建立机制，实现把发展放在国际贸易议程中心的承诺。
This new road to Doha offers us all another chance to ensure that mechanisms are put in place to deliver on the pledge to place development at the centre of the international trade agenda.
必须在此框架内全面解决小国面临的各种特殊挑战。
The special challenges of small States must be fully addressed within that framework.
最后让我回顾我记得曾在蒙特雷提出的一个非常重要的问题，即如何确保我们的发展伙伴作出的各项承诺得到有效的履行？
Let me end by recalling a most important question that, as I recall, was posed at Monterrey.
That question is, How do we ensure that the commitments made by our development partners are effectively honoured?
这一问题，我认为，现在和那时同样重要，因为经验表明，国际社会中许多国家长于承诺，却短于兑现。
The question, I believe, remains as relevant today as it was then; for, as experience has shown, many in the international community are very long on promises but short on delivery.
我们必须汲取的经验教训是，正如受援国必须接受融资条件，捐助国也必须承担履行承诺的责任。
The lesson we must learn is that, in as much as recipient countries are subject to conditionality's for financing, so too must donor countries be accountable for the fulfilment of promises made.
应当建立一项监督机制，用以评估蒙特雷共识执行情况，确保执行工作牢牢走上轨道。
It is time that a monitoring mechanism be introduced to assess the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus and to ensure that it is kept firmly on track.
决不能让蒙特雷共识凋谢和死亡。
We simply cannot afford to let the Consensus wither and die.
主席（以英语发言）：我现在请海地贸易和工业部长马吉·杜斯女士阁下发言。
The President: I now give the floor to Her Excellency Ms. Maguy Durcé, Minister of Trade and Industry of Haiti.
