On 22-24 October 2009, the fourth edition of European Development Days will be hosted in Stockholm, Sweden. The website with details of this year’s event has been launched.
European Development Days 2009 is a flagship event which showcases, in just a few days, the EU’s continuing and enduring commitment to development.
The European Development Days bring some 4 000 people and 1 500 organisations from the development community together on an equal footing. Delegates from 125 countries are represented, including heads of state and leading world figures, Nobel prizewinners among them.
The event aims to make development aid more effective, to build a global coalition against poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Through frank and sometimes controversial debates on pressing issues, such as governance, poverty and environmental sustainability, the European Development Days provide unprecedented opportunities for sharing ideas and launching innovative partnerships.
