Doha, being dubbed the "Development Round" of negotiations, implied benefits to the poorest countries. However, the non-deliverance of these "benefits" is another reason for its failure (at least in some cases):

While U.S. and European editorials declared the Doha Round collapse as disaster for the poor, social movements and NGOs representing the populations of poor countries cheered.
