Global Philanthropists and European Development Cooperation

0

Recent estimates of European foundation giving for global development have suggested that European foundations direct about one sixth of their funding to development, while American foundations distribute about one fifth of their resources internationally, only a portion of which reaches developing countries. While Gates Foundation giving has been an obvious focal point for interest in philanthropic engagement in development due to a scale putting it in financial terms in the league of smaller more...

Climate Change Challenges for EU Development Co-operation: Emerging Issues

0

Developing countries are expected to be most severely affected by the impacts of climate change, in terms of physical impacts such as increased severity of droughts and floods and in terms of potential adverse effects of policy measures taken by developed countries to mitigate climate change, such as the promotion of biofuels. The task of factoring these implications into development co-operation is proving far from straightforward and it poses new problems for the development co-operation more...

What Role for Sub-Saharan Africa in Europe’s Energy Policies?

0

This paper examines the three ostensibly core dimensions of Europe’s evolving policy in Africa. First, the incorporation of the continent into European external energy security policy. Second, the claimed coherence between development and energy security aims in Africa. And third, the governance dimensions of how energy sectors are managed in Africa. It highlights the incipient potential for an approach to energy that is sensitive to issues of development and good governance. In this sense, more...

International Climate Finance: Principles for European Support to Developing Countries

0

The funding initiatives described in this paper have relied heavily on the experience of the development cooperation units within the EC and Member States. Much useful experience is being gained in channeling new financial resources to developing countries. However, this early activity needs to be guided by a common set of principles of action that are held up by both developed and developing countries. As with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness – of which the EC was a leading proponent more...

Emerging Non-State Actors in Global Development: Challenges for Europe

0

As part of the broader research program on how ‘new actors in international development’ might influence European development cooperation in the coming decade, this paper provides an overview of the engagement of three types of non-state development actors: private foundations, corporate philanthropies, and global vertical programs. In discussing financial commitments, funding priorities, and implementation approaches of these actors, the paper identifies key issues for European donors to more...

Energy Challenges in the Middle East and North Africa

0

This paper demonstrates the inextricable links between the energy trade and the future governance of the MENA region and outlines some of the related challenges to EU policies.In 2020 the European Union will be more dependent on oil and gas from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and will also face tougher international competition for access to the region’s supplies. Within the MENA region, a rapidly increasing population, authoritarian forms of governance and an enhanced risk of further more...

Energy and Development: Lessons from Nigeria

0

This policy brief examines how Nigeria's conflict over energy has affected development and how the European Union has attempted to tackle the development-energy linkage. It highlights the main elements of Nigeria's "oil curse" and how European Union policies have been split between support for a stable, democratic and economically advancing Nigeria on the one hand, and for secure energy supplies on the other hand.

European Development Co-operation to 2020: Challenges by New Actors in International Development

0

This paper focuses specifically on the challenges Europe faces by the emergence of new actors in international development co-operation. In the past 10-15 years, the established development donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) have forged a consensus about what aid is for, where it should be best directed and how it should be managed. With the increasing salience of a variety of new actors in international development, both governmental and nongovernmental, this consensus more...

Development, Security and Energy: Improving Coherence

0

This document provides a snapshot of the policy connections linking development, broad security goals and specific energy objectives.Can the EU effectively manage a policy nexus between securitised development and energy security? It certainly has the potential to do so. But fundamental policy changes are required before it can claim to be on the road towards this goal.

Climate Change Challenges for European Development Co-operation: Emerging Issues

0

This policy brief considers some issues of climate changes that are being handled within the context of European development co-operation and what the prospects are for building effective future climate change and development responses. Climate change has significant implications for developing countries. These include both increased severity of events such as floods and droughts and the potential need to implement low carbon growth strategies. Development co-operation could help to address more...
