In a Talking Points Audio interview, ECDPM’s Head of Strategy, Jean Bossuyt, outlines why the EC’s decision is a surprise, and not a surprise. ‘You badly need Political Economy Analysis, that should be the principle,’ he says. How Political Economy Analysis is done is not the issue. The essence is that the European Union Delegations have the tools to properly read rapidly evolving political situations, so they can detect where there is traction in society, and can then tailor their cooperation accordingly. ‘The worst for European cooperation credibility is that you go very far on the political road in terms of policy discourse, but you remain under equipped in terms of instruments.’ That would be a recipe for failure, says Bossuyt. new_dpir_team development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team dpir political_economy_analysis eu_development_effectiveness governance Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:58:14 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a#cotonou_online http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Navigation.nsf/index2?readform&http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Content.nsf/0/172D5FC75F303A50C1257B9C002A23DF?OpenDocument http://delicious.com/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a cotonou_online's links Three decades of decentralisation reforms have led to subnational officials across Latin America now possessing a historical, unprecedented level of political authority and fiscal autonomy according to a new Discussion Paper by ECDPM's Jean Bossuyt. The report was a basis for discussion at a recent regional EU seminar, facilitated by ECDPM, bringing together EU Delegations, local authorities and key experts from the region to reflect on EC support to decentralisation processes in the region. The report recommends that the EU should make flexible use of its funding modalities in order to use decentralisation as a means towards better local development outcomes. new_dpir_team development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team dpir local_governance_decentralisation governance eu_development_effectiveness Fri, 26 Jul 2013 04:20:04 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/d4cab360ec613bd3235e549e4b6794eb#cotonou_online http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/25/world/africa/africa-resources-fuel-world/index.html?sr=sharebar_twitter http://delicious.com/url/d4cab360ec613bd3235e549e4b6794eb http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/d4cab360ec613bd3235e549e4b6794eb cotonou_online's links From laptops to cell phones, cars to airplanes, all kinds of everyday products are made using minerals that come from Africa. It's no exaggeration to say that the world depends on Africa's natural resources. Those resources are crucial exports for many African countries, and while resource wealth doesn't always benefit ordinary people, there is no doubt that the global commodities boom is helping to power the economies of Africa's resource-rich nations. Click on the categories to the left, or use the arrows on the side to see just a few of the countless products that use Africa's natural resources, and how those raw materials fuel African economies. acpeutrade governance_of_economic_reform policy_news governance Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:07:50 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/0d4deb36193a88b8841ee9f53acd1d27#cotonou_online http://www.afdb.org/en/blogs/integrating-africa/post/be-thy-neighbours-keeper-avoiding-the-resource-curse-in-eastern-africa-through-regional-cooperation-12143/ http://delicious.com/url/0d4deb36193a88b8841ee9f53acd1d27 http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/0d4deb36193a88b8841ee9f53acd1d27 cotonou_online's links acpeutrade governance_of_economic_reform policy_news regional_integration governance Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:30:01 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/f504ea099a26fe9920feeecb933c6bb6#cotonou_online http://thebrokeronline.eu/Blogs/Spurring-economic-transition/Diversifying-foreign-investment-in-Africa http://delicious.com/url/f504ea099a26fe9920feeecb933c6bb6 http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/f504ea099a26fe9920feeecb933c6bb6 cotonou_online's links More diversification and better reinvestment of natural resource revenues can ensure that foreign investments in Africa contribute to inclusive growth. acpeutrade governance_of_economic_reform policy_news governance Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:18:41 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/493b174fe02058bd173beb0d19a0886e#cotonou_online http://post2015.org/2013/07/24/62-civil-society-organisations-respond-to-the-high-level-panel-report/ http://delicious.com/url/493b174fe02058bd173beb0d19a0886e http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/493b174fe02058bd173beb0d19a0886e cotonou_online's links 62 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have written to the UN Secretary General  (UNSG) to provide feedback on the High Level Panel report on the post-2015 Development agenda. They share recommendations for the process. The letter was sent to the UN SG on 22 July 2013. Its recommendations include, amongst others: A greater focus on, and a more refined understanding of, human-rights; greater emphasis on changing modes of consumption and production, and less on economic growth; a standalone goal on inequality and discrimination; more radical economic transformation including reforming trade and intellectual property rights regimes, tax codes and practices, and a move towards sustainable modes of production and consumption; a standalone goal on open, accountable and participatory governance; and more focused and reliable mechanisms for ensuring the participation of socially excluded communities in the design of the post-2015 framework. int_development_effectiveness development_policy policy_news dpir civil_society governance Wed, 24 Jul 2013 04:21:00 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9#cotonou_online http://ue.eu.int/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/138333.pdf http://delicious.com/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9 http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9 cotonou_online's links On the main priorities of the summit they stress that: 1) growth and employment need to be at the top of the G20 agenda; 2) financial reform needs to be completed; 3) tax avoidance and evasion need to be pushed forward and 4) the reform of the International Financial Architecture needs to be completed and progress be made with the work on development, anti-corruption and Energy. int_external_assistance financing4development acpeutrade general_trade_issues development_policy governance_of_economic_reform policy_news dpir governance Wed, 24 Jul 2013 03:59:27 +0000 http://delicious.com/url/5e515e62c690db125047c3f9631ed320#cotonou_online http://skollworldforum.org/2013/07/15/how-and-why-africa-should-solve-its-own-problems/ http://delicious.com/url/5e515e62c690db125047c3f9631ed320 http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/5e515e62c690db125047c3f9631ed320 cotonou_online's links Not any amount of aid is going to move Africa forward.

We cannot rely on people to come and feed our poor or treat our sick.
