Issues

Actors and Other Stakeholders - Who is "on board" and why?

• National Governments and International Organizations –  their commitment to MDGs

• How can local policy actors contribute to the achievement of MDGs and other global policy objectives?

• NGOs as development actors: their role, their limits; their challenges

• Our role as individuals - Can we as individuals contribute to the achievement of the Global Development Agenda?

Cooperation - What?

• Do developed and developing nations agree on the road map for global development?  Is there a difference in the way different cultures see "development"?

• Do cooperation for development action really benefits the target populations? How far they impact on the wider social settings?

• What is the relationship between "Global" and "Local" agendas and responsibilities?

   

   

Cooperation - How?

• What did we learn from the projects about coherence and incoherence of international policies? How to achieve Policy Coherence for Development.  How to design and manage successful cooperation programmes?

Communication - How?

• Media and the international communication climate. Professional and ethical challenges.

Cooperation and communication climates

• Sharing knowledge and resources. Why and how development actors support each other
