New reports assess EU policy coherence for development

– 19 November 2009Posted in: ACP, Development, Publications

The European Commission published a progress report of the Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) approach launched in 2005 as part of the European Consensus on Development. The PCD review published in late September says that its framework ”allows for a systematic exploration of the effects that EU policies other than aid might have on development and on the achievement of the MDGs. The European Commission claims that these are ”powerful mechanisms to promote PCD”. Source: CTA. http://www.eurodad.org/whatsnew/articles.aspx?id=3883

World Bank/IMF: Global Monitoring Report 2008

– 26 April 2008Posted in: Development, Publications

This new report warns that most countries will fall short on the MDGs. Though much of the world is set to cut extreme poverty in half by then, prospects are gravest for the goals of reducing child and maternal mortality. The report also stresses the link between environment and development. The implication of this assessment is clear. If the world is to get back on track to meet the MDGs, the international communityneeds to move quickly to generate stronger and broader momentum toward these goals. In the context of expediting and broadening progress toward the MDGs, and ensuring the sustainability of that progress, the report proposes an agenda for inclusive and sustainable development. http://tinyurl.com/5zbweg
