ENoP member Povod Institute, Slovenia, is organising a conference on 15th December 2022 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The event will be held in English and will be streamed on Povod’s Facebook page and on Zoom.

The focus will be on the national and EU bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) quantity and quality, as well as reaching ODA commitments for the implementation of Agenda 2030 and reaching SDGs. We will analyze trends in EU and ODA efficiency within bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

A day before the public conference, we will hold a workshop/consultation where we will have a thematic discussion with different ENoP members and CSOs representatives from the EU and Slovenia, where participants will share their practical experiences, views, and knowledge on policies at the national, EU or global level. The purpose of the workshop is to strengthen the CSO view on the issue of ODA and international cooperation and to prepare issues for the next day’s conference panel.

“European countries have been faced with numerous global challenges in the past few years, from climate change and the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic issues to the worsening global order and potential fragmentation to smaller regional groupings, all of which have impacted the smoothness of different global supply chains required for the current global system to function.”
