Website Announcement: Whither EC Aid?

ECDPM and ActionAid have launched a website for their joint project ‘Whither EC Aid?’ The main objective of the joint ECDPM-ActionAid project WECA is to re-position the debate on monitoring the effectiveness of EC development cooperation and develop evidence-based, common understanding of the characteristics, added value and impact of EC development cooperation.

The first part of the project, an initial discussion note on EC Aid, is based on a review of available relevant literature and a series of interviews with around 30 decision-makers and experts from both Europe and developing countries.

A series of roundtables and an online consultation form the second part of the project, whose main aim is to broaden a debate about the role and effectiveness of EC Aid.

On the basis of the outcomes of the research and consultation phases, a final report on “Whither EC Aid?” will be written and completed in spring 2008.
