European Development Days is a landmark event in

the European development calendar. It is Europe’s fore-

most platform for dialogue and discussion on develop-

ment issues. In bringing together the global development

community, European Development Days presents an

unmatched opportunity for key development actors to

share and develop ideas and debate the EU’s policies

for tackling poverty worldwide. The event, organised

jointly by the European Commission and the Belgian

Presidency of the European Union, will bring together

Heads of State, representatives of national govern-

ments, Members of the European Parliament, European

development fi nance institutions, key civil society repre-

sentatives, NGOs, as well as Business Europe and the

International Finance Corporation, to name but a few.

Context

At the start of a new decade, development cooperation

is at a crossroads and Europe has to consider its role

in a changing world. Several of the largest developing

countries are enjoying unprecedented growth and

have emerged as major actors on the world stage,

while the risks from climate change are increasing, and

worldwide economic interdependence has taken on a

new signifi cance in the wake of the fi nancial crisis. These

global political and economic realities call for change and

a coordinated, modern approach to development.

This fi fth edition of European Development Days also

comes at a decisive moment in European development

policy-making. The Lisbon Treaty has put new emphasis

on poverty eradication, aid effectiveness and policy

coherence. Furthermore, less than two months after the

UN High Level Summit on the Millennium Development

Goals, and one week after the formal creation of

the European External Action Service, European

Development Days will come at the ideal time for

stakeholders to refl ect on how new policy instruments

and initiatives can make concrete contributions to

tackling the MDGs with renewed vigour.

Objectives

The objective of European Development Days is to

encourage a policy dialogue, where the development

community can exchange ideas on how to tackle

challenges, and debate how best to get the most

from the added value of development aid and its cost-

effectiveness. Europe’s development policy has to address

a variety of challenges to achieve “higher-impact” aid.

These challenges – many of which are highlighted in the

Commission’s Green Paper on Development Policy to be

published ahead of EDD – include the issue of ensuring

more inclusive growth, as well as fairer, more effi cient and

more environmentally sustainable development policies.

Two essential prerequisites are effective cooperation and

partnership among stakeholders and recipient countries,

and coherence between development and other policy

areas such as trade and migration. Indeed, collaboration

between development policy specialists is at the heart of

European Development Days’ pursuit of these objectives.

To guarantee the effectiveness of long-term policies on

the MDGs and beyond, a variety of different challenges

will be addressed in the various panels and discussion

fora during European Development Days.

Democracy, governance and

human rights

On the 15th anniversary of the European Instrument

for Democracy and Human Rights, several events will

focus particular attention on the horizontal issues of

democracy, better governance, domestic accountability

and human rights. The European Parliament will invite

development practitioners to look ahead to development

issues affecting the next generation and children’s rights

in development policy.

The panel on the Lisbon Treaty will discuss the evolution

of the different components of EU external action and,

among other issues, the role of the EU in supporting

Democratic Governance. A session will be held on better

service delivery through improved governance.

Welcome

Through a seminar on domestic accountability, attention

will be given to the strengthening of the accountability of

state systems to their citizens with a view to improving

governance in developing countries in a sustainable

manner. Discussions on how to combat poverty through

better gender equality will be held, as will a debate on

essential issues such as the role of local authorities.

Another panel will look ahead to children’s rights in

development policy. The specifi c situation of children

working in the cocoa industry will be illustrated in a

seminar focusing on the exchange of best practice.

Brainstorming ahead of 2011

international summits

European Development Days will facilitate policy brain-

storming and stimulate forward-looking recommenda-

tions ahead of key international summits in 2011. The

special needs of the Least Developed Countries will be

addressed in anticipation of the United Nations Summit

on the LDCs in Turkey. The challenges of a global health

approach will also be discussed ahead of the general

assembly of the World Health Organization in May. Two

years after the adoption of the Accra Agenda for Action,

key actors will assess progress made and challenges for

the future in advance of the next High Level Forum on aid

effectiveness in Busan, South Korea.

Launch of Reports and Awards

European Development Days will serve as a launch pad

for a series of reports and studies published in 2010.

These include:

• the European Report on Development 2010;

• a study on private sector development;

• a set of best practices in the fi eld of culture;

• a report on “Enabling Increased Investment into

African Rural Electrifi cation.

On 6 December, the Lorenzo Natali Prize will be awarded

for the best journalistic coverage of development-related

issues.

Presentation of Initiatives

European Development Days will provide a platform for

the discussion of new or recent initiatives undertaken by

a wide variety of European stakeholders. Dfi D and the

Nike Foundation will be highlighting their best practices

in the fi eld of gender equality. Following the Cotonou

Appeal against counterfeit drugs in 2009, the Chirac

Foundation will underline the importance of action being

taken in the fi ght against fake medicines. A group of

academics, led by Paul Collier and sponsored by the

Mo Ibrahim foundation, will be launching a natural

resource charter that presents a set of conditions for

the sound and sustainable management of natural

resources. The European Commission will also discuss

its new access to energy initiative with key partners.

All these initiatives are set to make European Devel-

opment Days a landmark fi xture on the international

development agenda.

The Revenue Watch Index is a pioneering new

measurement of government public disclosure in

managing oil, gas and minerals. It ranks Brazil and Norway

highest among 41 countries for making public detailed

information about these key resources. Government

openness about its income is essential to combat high-

level corruption and reduce citizens’ mistrust of how

government uses public resources. Openness does not

guarantee good governance, but transparency is an

essential building block for accountability.

based on quantitative data and fi eld research carried out

in 14 major humanitarian crises during 2010. It provides

an independent assessment of donor performance,

which can assist governments in ensuring that their

humanitarian funding has the greatest possible impact

Despite Africa’s generally positive economic performance in recent years and the progress it has registered towards certain Millennium Development Goals, persistent poverty remains a huge concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, the region remains susceptible to a wide range of internal and external shocks which leave people vulnerable and force them to adopt coping strategies that can undermine their opportunities to escape from poverty.

For example, the World Bank estimates that the 2007-2008 food crisis plunged 30 million more Africans – and up to 105 million people worldwide – into poverty. Looking to the future, the recent economic and fi nancial crisis may jeopardise sub-Saharan Africa’s ability to meet the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by the 2015 deadline.

What can be done to protect existing gains, further combat poverty, and promote resilience to unexpected shocks?

According to the second edition of the European Report on Development (ERD 2010/2011), the answer lies in social protection, which is climbing up the African and international policy agenda.

Evidence reveals that social protection has made a significant historical contribution to eradicating abject poverty in Europe.

But can it achieve the same sort of results in sub-Saharan Africa? Can it also promote broader developmental and social objectives, such as social cohesion and inclusive growth? If so, how can this be achieved and paid for? What is the role of African countries and what can the EU and other donors do to help home-grown initiatives?

Join us at the launch of the ERD 2010/2011 to fi nd out. The launch will be attended by:

• ERD research team: Giorgia Giovannetti, ERD lead author, European, University Institute (EUI); Rachel Sabates-Wheeler, Institute of Development Studies (IDS) (tbc)

• François Bourguignon, director of the Paris School of Economics• Françoise Moreau, acting director for EU development policy,

• Michael Cichon, director of the Social Security Department, International Labour Organisation (ILO)

The launch will be followed by a lunch to which participants are cordially invited.

BACKGROUNDThe ERD seeks, in close cooperation with developing partner countries, to enhance the EU’s perspective on development issues on the basis of independent knowledge excellence, innovation and enhanced bridges between top-level academics and policy-makers. The initiative is supported by the European Commission and seven EU Member States (Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom). State fragility in sub-Saharan Africa was the central topic of the fi rst edition of the ERD, which was released in October 2009.

Music against Poverty – Contest 2010

Live performance of the winners

The Belgian Presidency and the European Commission organised the Music against Poverty

contest in order to engage youth in development cooperation issues.

“Trad” for Development - Traditional Irish music by Shantalla

Organised by CIDSE

What’s a Trad ? In Europe, the Irish are well known for their convivial culture. In Ireland,

anyone who plays an instrument can gather with other musicians to improvise traditional

music in bars, public places, or just as well at home.

With Trad for Development, the Irish Catholic development agency Trocaire encourages

citizens to organize a Trad, enjoying music close to their hearts for a worthy cause. The

initiative has generated enormous enthusiasm in Ireland, with hundreds of events taking

place in local communities across the country.

CIDSE’s Trad illustrates how civil society, a key actor for development, can reach out to

citizens and local communities, living a deeply-held traditional musical culture while

broadening public support for global solidarity.

Equally worrisome is that each year, MDR-TB strikes

nearly half a million people around the world. MDR-TB

occurs when medicines used to treat TB are misused

or mismanaged, resulting in a more virulent strain. Like

regular TB it is contagious and can be contracted by

patients without their knowledge.

Eli Lilly and Company, in 2003, formed the Lilly MDR-TB

Partnership, a public-private partnership to address the

expanding global crisis of MDR-TB. The Partnership

involves private and public healthcare professionals,

academia, international organizations and producers of

medicines in resource constrained countries.

TB is much more than a medical problem; equally,

it is a social and economic challenge. This is why the

Partnership tackles TB in all its forms from all possible

angles. It does this by providing access to medicines,

transferring manufacturing technology to the developing

world, training healthcare workers, raising awareness

and promoting research and prevention, while providing

support for patients and communities. To date Lilly has

committed $135 million to the Partnership.

The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership takes this opportunity to

thank the individuals who agreed to be photographed

for this essay. Their exceptional courage brings hope

and comfort to many people.

Public entrance, outside staircase

Faces of Tuberculosis

In 2009 the Lilly MDR-TB Partnership commissioned

photographers in four countries hardest hit by Multi Drug

Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) namely, China, India,

Russia and South Africa, to capture different aspects

of tuberculosis in their country. The exhibition, entitled

‘Faces of TB’, aims to personalize and put a human face

to the daunting challenge of combating TB and MDR-TB.

The project is strictly humanitarian and was undertaken

without any commercial interest. Each photographer

was artistically independent and free to capture through

his/her artistic lenses the spirit of what it is like to be

living with TB/MDR-TB in their country.

We have selected some of the images from this exhibition

to display during EU Development Days 2010 in order

to highlight the need for greater attention to given to

this deadly condition often, wrongly, considered to be a

disease of the past.

Despite being curable TB, still claims the lives of 4,500

people every day. TB is an airborne bacterium that can

spread to any organ of the body, most often the lungs.

If left untreated, each person with active TB infects on

average 10 to 15 people every year. Of the nine million

people diagnosed with TB each year, nearly two million

will die of the disease.

Getting the picture - framing the debate. The

photography workshop to accompany the 2010

Spotlight of the Year.

The Spotlight of the Year 2010, Diversity - Driver

for Development, was also the theme of this year’s

photography workshop. Eight photographers from

Algeria, Germany, Madagascar and South Africa

explored the South African metropolis of Johannesburg

through the camera lens to fi nd their personal take on

the 2010 Spotlight theme. The fi rst workshop had taken

place in Berlin in December 2008; now it was the turn of

a GTZ partner country to provide a source of inspiration

for the photographers. The group spent a week looking

for motifs in market squares, townships and other parts

of the city. In the process, they talked to a wide range of

people, coming back again and again to diversity and

its possible meanings. The resulting pictures not only

capture the participants’ experiences and encounters in

South Africa, they also refl ect the interactions within the

group and the discussions they had on diversity as a

‘driver for development’.

Photography: Economic factor and driver of debate

Photography, as part of the cultural and creative

industry, is an economic factor that creates jobs in the

photography sector, visual editing and museums and

in turn creates economic capital. In addition, artists

are important societal actors. They can bring important

issues of our times into the public domain and trigger

a debate. Finally, since photography reaches across

language barriers it is also capable of inspiring global

debates. Photography can also be a powerful instrument

in international cooperation, helping to portray and raise

awareness of daily life, regional and cultural features and

social or other wrongs. In this context, it’s not only about

producing pleasing pictures. Knowing how a picture

came about is equally, if not more, important, because

there is often an astounding story behind the image.

Public entrance, beneath the glass cube

Diversity - Driver for development

Getting the Picture – Framing the Debate

GTZ and KfW know that diversity is essential to

development. In 2010 they joined forces for the fi rst time

to promote the spotlight of the year.

Diversity is predominantly about having alternatives -

for instance, the freedom to choose between political

parties, economic systems, natural resources, ideas

and lifestyles. Diversity is particularly vital in international

cooperation. Our activities in the partner countries

involve people who not only have different experiences

and cultural backgrounds, but also differing interests

and visions. Committed, creative action on the part

of all stakeholders is crucial to successful sustainable

development. That said, diversity can also be an obstacle.

The freedom to choose from various alternatives can

cause disorientation and arbitrariness. GTZ aims to

assist its partners in translating diversity into a strong

driver for all forms of development.

past instead of running away from them.

‘The Little Fisherman’ by Mario Macilau (Mozam-

bique) depicting Mozambican children working as

fi shermen to support their families, took second

place. ‘La Démo-lition’ (The Demolition) by Aboubacar

Traore (Mali) showing the demolition of poor people’s

houses in Bamako in March 2008 came third. Both

second and third photographers receive a Courier-

certifi cate. Twenty pictures will be exhibited at The

Courier’s stand during EDD 2010 held in Brussels,

6-7 December.

The jury evaluated the photos on the basis of: technical

quality, storytelling and photo-journalism skills and

originality and artistic merit.

Chris Saunders is awarded the €1,000 prize offered by

competition sponsors: Africa e Mediterraneo and Grand

Angle press & production.

COLEACP, an ACP-EU network, has undertaken to

sponsor a photo assignment in an ACP country for the

winner.

The competition’s media partners included; Jeune

Afrique, Africultures, Afri Photo, African Colours and

Young ACP photographyWinner of the Courier’s young ACP photographers’

competition 2010

The exhibition aims to present an artistic whole. It

was launched to highlight the work of young ACP

photographers – under 30 years of age – and encourage

the use of photography as a tool to describe and refl ect

upon the world around us. They were asked to submit

pictures falling under the following themes: trade, culture,

tradition, climate change or science & technology. A total

of 91 photographs taken by some 30 photographers

met the eligibility criteria.

The 20 photos chosen according to the competition’s

criteria meet this aim. They reveal a wealth of ACP

photographic talent, which marries creativity with

photographic skills. Exhibited are the top photos ranked

by the jury, with no more than two photos by participant.

The winner of The 2010 Courier ACP Photo Competition

is Chris Saunders from South Africa. His picture,

‘Dressed UP’ represents a group of Tsotsi style Pantsula

dancers from Orange Farm Township in Johannesburg.

Pantsula 1 culture originally comes from gangsterism,

with an infamous reputation. These days, groups like the

‘Real Actions’ have taken hundreds of children off the

streets by teaching them to dance Pantsula and adapting

the culture from a negative one to a positive one. The

guys in the group are proud of where they come from

It is in this spirit that the Organisation Internationale

de la Francophonie has organised an exhibition that

features 16 black and white original prints taken in Haiti,

between 1995 and 1998, by the photographer Olivier

Beytout, a “Traveler – Photographer – Humanist”, as he

describes himself.

Olivier Beytout and Editions Riveneuve wished to

contribute to the Francophonie solidarity effort for Haiti.

An album of color and black and white photos titled

“Haiti: before the storm”, has therefore been published

in partnership with the Organisation Internationale de

la Francophonie and Unesco, to be sold in aid of the

victims of the January 2010 earthquake.

2nd fl oor, in the corridor of the Meeting Centre

“Birds knew before man that, from one ridge to the next

on separate continents, there was similar vegetation

and neighbouring men, and that you could almost

move from one land to the other and dream that it was

a continuation of the same land… Only the birds, who

had never stopped traversing the seas and lands, knew

the sky was huge and empty. Only the birds who from

time immemorial, from the emptiness of the sky, the

explosion of emptiness which brought the continents

and the original driftings, had seen the roughly round

shape of a planet, the form of a world like a small ball

made up of small balls fl oating around other small

balls and separated by a vacuum ... only the birds still

remember ... with their ever-changing migratory path...

that man is resident of the land ... that the roots of man

are in the air... wherever he may sleep or rest his feet

... there is nothing left of the origins of the fragmented

continents... there is nothing left of any origin ... nothing

but the mercurial path of transmigration ... ”

Kossi Efoui Volatiles

In the aftermath of the earthquake that hit Haiti on the

12th January 2010, Mr. Abdou Diouf, the Secretary

General of Francophonie, made the commitment to the

Haitian people, “to mobilize Francophonie resources

and capacities in order to contribute, in a joint effort

with the international community, to the reconstruction

of Haiti”.

The Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie

placed its year-long celebrations of its 40th Anniversary

in 2010 under the theme of solidarity with Haiti.

Lorenzo Natali Award Ceremony

The Lorenzo Natali Prize, created by the European Commission in 1992, awards journalists

who contribute to progress on issues regarding development, democracy and human rights.

Originally the Lorenzo Natali Prize was dedicated exclusively to written and on-line media,

however, since 2008 the prize is awarded also to radio and television journalists. In order to

organize the Lorenzo Natali Prize, the European Commission has surrounded itself by the

most prestigious global press associations:

- Reporters Without Borders, winner of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 2005

- World Association of Newspapers & News Publishers, which represents more than 18.000

publications on all fi ve continents in total.

Commissioner Piebalgs will participate in the award ceremony organized in honour of the

winners of the 2010 Lorenzo Natali Prize.

“Fight Poverty” Award Ceremony

Three contests were launched this autumn to raise awareness among the younger generation

of the 27 member states about the fi ght against poverty and values such as international

solidarity:

- “Shoot against Poverty” is a photo contest launched by the DGD for people aged 15-35,

with as main prize a professional photo report on site in Africa. The 20 most acclaimed photos

are on display in Parc Albertine until 8 December 2010.

- “Music against Poverty” is a music contest, launched by EuropeAid for the second

consecutive year, open to the age group 15-25. The prize is a studio recording of the winning

song and the opportunity to perform live at the EDD.

- “Young Reporters against Poverty” is a new initiative by EuropeAid for students of

International Relations, Political Sciences or Journalism who are asked to write articles or

radio reports on the EU and Development Aid. Selected candidates are invited to Brussels to

cover the EDD. The fi nal winners of the contest are invited on a press trip to an African country,

which is a partner of the European Commission.

The common Award ceremony for these various contests will be held at the start of the

reception for the participants organized at the SQUARE.

“8+ Goals Fashion Show”

This event is much more than a simply a fashion show. A highlight is a presentation of eight

tables, each of which illustrate and carry a message of awareness for the eight Millennium

Development Goals, launched in 2000 by the United Nations. The number “8” is the symbol

of the show. Eight fashion designers as well as an artistic team consisiting of singers, models,

and dancers, both Belgian and International, join to contribute to solidarity in the world.
