Before you head for the beach, remember this: In Addis Ababa on Monday, world leaders had a golden opportunity to reshape how they help developing countries grow and prosper. Let's hope they didn't waste it.
The U.N. Conference on Financing for Development is crucial for the poorest nations. These "least-developed countries" have been screwed of late. Their already small share of the global aid pie has shrunk by 6 percent since 2010.
Yet these are the countries where international aid matters the most, where it is essential to build decent health and education systems and boost investment in agriculture and infrastructure. Addis Ababa won't be a success unless the rich world commits more resources to the very poorest among us.
