Description

"ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT IN THE FACE OF TIGHT RESOURCES"

How can we best promote just and effective policies for international development co-operation? The objectives of the European Community are to foster sustainable development and so eradicate poverty in developing countries by integrating them into the world economy. This can be achieved by promoting the consolidation of
democracy, the rule of law, good governance and the respect for human rights. But are there enough funds for all the nations, which are in dire need of development aid? In this edition of World Chronicle, Poul Nielson, European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, discusses how to deal with global development especially in the context of a world changed by the events of 11th September.
