EDC2020 Panel at the European Development Days 2008
The impact of “emerging powers” on governance in partner countries
Sunday 16 November 2008, 2 pm - 4 pm
Strasbourg, France
The increasing activities of non-DAC development partners – often called: “new donors” – are an opportunity for global prospects and pose a challenge at the same time. While being a chance for additional funding and investments, the increasing international role of actors like China or India poses challenges to partner countries in coordination. They are also of interest to traditional DAC-donors, as “new kids on the block” challenge donors’ approaches. And thirdly, organising the international partnership is a challenge for the non-DAC actors themselves, who are often engaged a various levels of state.
This event will present and discuss recent research of the EDC2020 project.
