"The report evaluates the financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI), four years after the regulation that implemented it came into force.
The evaluation carried out is relevant from several points of view. Opportune and critical analyses are made of DCI and the EU’s development cooperation policy, which we consider fair and necessary.
For example, the report states that the purpose of development policy should not be to defend the EU’s interests, but rather those of the most vulnerable populations on the planet. It draws attention to the excessive focus on investments to be made by the private sector, as well as the constraints imposed on the public sector, and warns of the need for funds not to be diverted from already underfinanced sectors, giving the example of support for local authorities. It also criticises any attempt to cut the funding of the DCI and the European Development Fund, and stresses once again that not enough progress has been made with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and that there is a need to increase Official Development Assistance (ODA).
Nevertheless, we believe the report could and should have gone further, on each of these points, especially in advocating consistency between the goals stated in the area of development cooperation policy and the EU’s various sectoral policies."@en1
