VI. Cooperation with non-governmental development organisations

Luxembourg conference on development cooperation

On 24 and 25 April 2014, the traditional conference on development cooperation took place, bringing together all the actors of Luxembourg’s development cooperation, i.e. the representatives of the partner countries, state actors, NGOs and politicians in the sector. The topics “post-2015” and “resilience” were key subjects debated at the two round tables.

The morning of 25 April was dedicated to “The policy coherence for development at the European level” at a round table organised by the Cercle of NGOs. The debates focused on the need to better integrate the notion of policy consistency both at the national and European level, not forgetting within the partner countries, and to be equipped with all the levels of arbitration mechanisms. The Ministry organised “country tables” in order to promote exchange between the embassies in the partner countries and the NGOs active in these countries.
