The Secretary General's report on human resources development (A 60 318) had noted that escaping the poverty trap required investment in basic infrastructure and human resources that developing countries could not undertake without international assistance.

Urges Member States to continue to take the necessary steps to mobilize internal resources in the form of stocks and shares and to facilitate the optimal utilization of such resources in profitable investment projects both in public and private sectors.

The task of coordinating such a group is large and requires the investment of appropriate human and financial resources.

In a globalized world, partnerships were clearly crucial, and additional resources had to be secured through external debt relief, an improved global trading system, increased ODA and both foreign direct investment and mobilization of domestic resources.
