About ECDPM’s Talking Points blog

Posted: 07:30 AM CEST

ECDPM’s Talking Points blog, produced by ECDPM staff and our partners, aims to deepen exchanges on pertinent policy issues. With a focus on the ‘how’ and ‘what next’ questions in international cooperation, Talking Points complements the centre’s Weekly Compass news bulletin by offering in-depth information on selected and timely policy issues. The blog covers, among other topics:

  • the changing institutional context within the EU and how this is shaping it’s international cooperation and the implications for developing countries;

  • its trade relationships, particularly with the African, Caribbean and Pacific regions;

  • how Europe and its partners are adapting their international development cooperation to wider issues of concern, such as peace and security, climate change and food security;

  • how best to realise the goal of improved governance, which underpins the EU’s international cooperation agenda and which is of concern to its partners as well.

Brief contributions (500-700+ words) from our readers are welcome.
