On the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty the Slovak Non-Governmental Development Organizations Platform (MVRO) will organize an International Development Day on October 17, 2008 in Bratislava, in the premises of the University Library, Venturska 11.
Like last year, the event will be an interactive discussion about topics related to the system of Official Development Assistance. Existing experience of Slovak, Austrian or African organizations actively involved in development cooperation will form the main basis of discussions; together with the upcoming steps, which are necessary to reach the Millennium Development Goals.
The programme is composed of an official part and parallel events (such as an exhibition, fair trade stands and a cultural programme).
Two Round table discussions will be focused on the Global Dimension of Development Cooperation with speakers and representatives of international development cooperation beneficiary countries such as Kenya, NGO representatives from Slovakia, Belgium and Austria and representatives of University. One round table will deal with topics such as: “Positive and Negative effects of Globalization and its impact on developing and developed countries”, “Fair Trade, contribution of agriculture in the fight against poverty”, “Aid Effectiveness, fight against corruption”. The second round table will focus on Slovak Development Aid.
