 Aktuelles vom NADZwei neue Internetseiten MDGsBei entwicklungspolitischen Fragen wird immer wieder auf die Millenniumsentwicklungsziele (MDGs) hingewiesen, zu denen sich im Jahr 2000 189 Regierungen verpflichtet haben. Eine neue NAD Webseite informiert über die Geschichte und Inhalte der acht MDGs und auch deren Kritik, so wie über ihre Umsetzung in Afrika und in der deutschen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. LinkErnährungssouveränitätErnährungssouveränität ist ein Konzept aus der Landlosenbewegung in Brasilien, das eine Agrarpolitik zu Gunsten von Kleinbauern und Umwelt fordert. Unsere neue Internetseite beschreibt die Prinzipien und Forderungen der Ernährungssouveränität und seine Verankerung in der katholischen Soziallehre.

The representatives of the 12 Antennae who gathered in Brussels, at the beginning of October, decided to focus the common Action Plan for 2006 on the following issues:

1. TRIPS (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights): quality of the medicines that are produced to be sold on the African markets

(pro- active topic);2. Analysis of Food Sovereignty in the African countries; 3. Sugar and Dairy Products in the context of Food Sovereignty;4. EPA: the year 2006 will be a crucial one in reviewing the EPA´s;5. Follow-up issues: Debt and Arms.

We decided to exclude the GATS issue from the 2006 Action Plan since the negotiations that are currently going on in Europe do not seem to be reaching any consistent result, as far as the African countries are concerned. However our network is free to take part in any concrete action plan dealing with water.
