EU Policy Coherence for Development: The challenge of sustainability
In preparation of Parliament's biannual report on Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the Development Committee's Standing Rapporteur for PCD, Dan Cristian Preda will host a workshop on Tuesday, 16 February from 12:30 to 15:00.
Experts from the academic world, the UN and the OECD as well as the Commission, EEAS and civil society are asked to tell MEPs how mechanisms and policies for PCD can be improved and how PCD will fit into the wider efforts to make EU policies fit for the global goals under the UN's 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Special focus will be given to the security-development nexus and measures against illicit financial flows. The workshop will be held in Brussels, in meeting room 5G2 of the Altiero Spinelli building, and will be webstreamed live.
