The Center for Global Development just released its 2008 Commitment to Development Index, which ranks rich countries based on their "dedication to policies that benefit poor nations." The index has been around since 2003 but this was the first time I had seen it. I have to applaud the Center for looking well beyond aid flows - also included in the rankings are policies on trade openness, technology transfer, and investment. For more on the index, check out the press release and a comprehensive list of resources called Inside the Index.
