What future for EU development policy?

What future for EU development policy?

Working paper

04 May 2007

The European Union, together with its member-states, is the world's largest source of development aid. Yet the Union under-performs as a donor: its various governments and the Commission seldom co-ordinate their efforts, and often fail to think strategically. However, national governments and the Commission are increasingly open to reform. In this working paper, Aurore Wanlin suggests how the EU could become more effective at promoting development.
