Latest ACP-EU updates: MFN clause, EP committees and SA message to Hollande

brussels.cta.int –

Despite vocal criticism of the EU, this is tempered by a number of positive notes. The former president of Tanzania, Benjamin William Mkapa, who warns on a weekly basis of the negative effects of the EPAs, emphasised last week that there exists a certain sympathy within the EU for Africa’s concerns, as the European Parliament committees on Development (DEVE) and International Trade (INTA) recently drafted proposals rejecting the proposal for the amendment of Regulation 1528/2007, which provides more...

0

health-policy-systems.com –

The lack of a mechanism that aligns financial flows for global health research towards public health priorities limits the impact of health research on health and health equity. Collaborative groups of health research funders appear to be particularly well situated to ameliorate this situation and to initiate discussion on aid alignment for global health research. One such group is the Heads of International Research Organizations (HIROs), which brings together a large number of major more...

Building resilience and improving our responses to humanitarian emergencies through innovation and better use of evidence

0

dfid.gov.uk –

The predicted impact of climate change, rapid and unplanned urbanisation, and conflict mean that the frequency and severity of crises will increase and affect more people in the future. To prepare for this uncertain future we will need to find innovative ways of working and use the best science to help identify the most effective interventions. But to date there has been relatively little investment to provide this evidence or to promote innovation in a humanitarian system that moves quickly more...

Latest ACP-EU updates: Trade and Agriculture

0

brussels.cta.int –

[3rd week April, 2012] Some of the most commented headlines from around the web last week focused on ACP-EU issues, notably on Africa. Apparently, all seem to succumb Africa’s attractiveness: Ritesh Kumar Singh and Sudhakar Kasture, experts in international trade, say that the economic slowdown is leading the EU and the US to resort to non-tariff barriers, with the aim of restricting imports into their territories and protect local employment. As emerging economies such as more...

As one might remember, Somalia is a signatory to the ACP-EU Lomé Conventions and the 1975 Georgetown Agreement which more...

With no doubt the most discussed topic last week was the so called "Durban Platform for Enhanced Action": Delegates finally agreed to start work next year on a new legally binding treaty to cut greenhouse gases. What for some has been a big step, for others is a deal marked by the lowest common denominator possible.Amid criticism on Durban's outcomes, the Sahel has been subject of discussion as some indicators appear to point to a food crisis in 2012.
