 An assessment of European Community aid Programming
On 8 November Eurostep published a report that critiques the planning of the EU’s aid to ACP countries from 2008. The report includes 4 country studies looking at the national process to date written by civil society actors. The report looks at the process for selecting focal sectors for the EC's aid to those countries, and at the mechanisms to involve civil society actors in the programming process. It concludes that from the case studies presented, and information provided by civil society actors from other countries, the EU's principles of ownership, transparency and participation are very far from being reflected in the process to date.
The case studies focus on Benin, Burundi, Cameroon and Zambia. Further country studies are planned.
