The question of untying aid and the specific modalities for each instrument must be approached from a developmental point of view: the instruments to be untied and the modalities for untying must be determined in function of their contribution to the attainment of the main goals of development assistance: poverty reduction through the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, empowerment of local communities in the beneficiary countries, so that they can assume full ownership of their own development process (inter alia through local capacity building), regional integration as a means of smoother integration into the world economy.
