The SAARC Development Goals are expected to help member states to stimulate their development efforts, offering a space in which all sections of the society can come together to debate national and regional priorities. The actions suggested in this report have great potential in enhancing regional cooperation. Some simply highlight existing initiatives, suggesting that they be developed or expanded while others will set the countries of the region off in new directions. National level determination and commitment however, is required to achieve the goals and maximize the benefits from regional cooperation.
