The two-day event in Ljubljana, titled “International Development Cooperation: 2015 and Looking Ahead”, attracted approximately 200 participants and was opened by the foreign minister of Slovenia Karl Erjavec.
The programme consisted of four panels, which covered the most current aspects and issues of development cooperation, on national and international level:
The implementation of Slovenian development goals and the way forward;
follow-up of Rio+20;
migration & development and
public-private partnership & development cooperation. At the end of the first day there was also a Partnership Fair on the topic of migration & development, which continued with the informal gathering for all the participants of Slovenian Development Days (both activities were organised by The Peace Institute). On the second day a workshop on EU-project tenders took place.
The programme ended with a Development Cooperation Fair at Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, where 16 Slovenian NGOs presented their work in the field of development cooperation, humanitarian aid and migration.
With such a success this year, the organisers are already looking forward to next year's Slovenian Development Days.
