What changes does the European Union (EU) need to make in the development arena if it is to remain both relevant and useful? How can it make the leap from ‘old aid’ to ‘new development’? Who should it work with to do this? What must be on the agenda for the European parliament elections in 2014 and the appointment of a new European Commission?
Over the next year or so, expect a million reports called ‘Financing the post-2015 goals’ or a variant. Many will analyse what is known as ‘development finance’ which can be variously defined but basically means cross-border flows of money which have the promotion of development as a specific objective.
