Abstract

This publication stems from a shared commitment to European development cooperation and a sense of urgency about the need to rethink policy for new and challenging times. A new Europe facing new challenges will be tested in many fields and sectors. The authors assess the task of reaching the Millennium Development Goals, and rethink the goals for the period beyond 2015. They make the case for joined-up thinking across the institutions and policies of the EU, emphasising the importance of policy coherence for development. They examine specific policy areas – trade, state/peace building, climate change, migration, finance and the private sector. They lay out an agenda for partnerships with developing countries, and examine how actors in the EU system can work better together. The report identifies five priorities: New EU leadership in thinking about how the development cooperation can help deal with shared global problems; EU states to meet their aid promises and improve the targeting and effectiveness of aid spending; New efforts to ensure coherence between development and other policies; Providing new life to development partnerships; and Improved cooperation between member states, so that the EU really does work as one.
