Middle East / North Africa and the Millennium Development Goals is able but not willing to solve the problems facing its population. In this case DC will not be able to accomplish much, because it depends – as the term indicates – on the existence of a partner which perceives the problems at hand, shows interest in tackling them, and is willing to contribute whatever it can to solving them. In other words, the optimal conditions are given when a developing country is faced with a very high urgency of problem-solution, when its government is highly disposed to tackle these problems, and when at the same time its capacity to solve existing problems is markedly low. A model like the one presented in Overview 6 might be used to review the extent to which such conditions are given in any of the partner countries of German DC. The overview presents a hypothetical case, which does not resemble any real country. As a consequence, the goal orientation subscribed to the German DC at present is also entirely hypothetical. The third to seventh column reflect the partner country’s urgency, capacity, and disposition to solve its problems. The last column, finally, makes proposals for a reorientation of German DC with the model partner country. In looking at the urgency and capacity to solve given problems, we have to distinguish here between two different aspects. We can speak of a high urgency to take measures against a problem if the country’s absolute MDG indicator values are especially low (if e.g. a large proportion of the population is suffering from hunger). Against the background of the MDGs, however, we can also speak of a high urgency to solve a problem if – regardless of initial levels – the relative change in a country’s indicator values is unsatisfactory (if e.g. its child mortality rate has not improved much over the past years). The capacity of a country to solve its own problems, on the other hand, depends on (i) the capacities and possibilities of its institutions, but also (ii) the capacities and possibilities that have been opened to the country through its DC with the donors. The point of factoring in this last aspect is to prevent German DC from becoming active in countries or sectors where many other donor countries are already providing support while at the same time overlooking countries and sectors that are neglected by all other donors as well.
