Burkina Days at the Ettelbruck Foire Agricole
Professionals and the well-informed public
Some activities were organised with the Latvian Presidency, especially an exchange of best practice between Latvian and Luxemburgish civil society organisations.
Following an appeal by Minister Schneider, other Ministers and Ministries implemented activities during the EYD. Some addressed the topic of policy coherence for development at formal and informal committees (e.g. JAI and Energy). The Minister for Culture organised a conference on the link between culture and development.
A conference was organised with the Chamber of Commerce on the topic of the private sector’s opportunities and responsibilities in the field of development; this enabled exchanges with the private sector.
Cooperation between the members of the coordination group led to the organisation of a round table on the development cooperation relations between Cabo Verde and Luxembourg, with the Cabo Verde Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jorge Tolentino, MEP Charles Goerens, and João Da Luz, President of the Federation of Cabo Verdean Associations in Luxembourg.
It should also be noted that the Cercle of NGOs (with civil society) and the Representation of the European Commission in Luxembourg organised a large number of events in Luxembourg (cinéma du Sud, fête de la solidarité, etc.). As far as civil society is concerned, some activities were co-financed by the Directorate for Development Cooperation via the “NGO awareness-raising” budget line.
