    Overview
    Présentation

    Halfway towards the Sustainable Development Goals set for 2030 in 2015, and seizing the opportunity of the “Summit for a New Global Financial Pact” on 22 and 23 June in Paris, as called for by the French President, the ESEC wants to relaunch the debate on Official Development Assistance (ODA).


    New geopolitical balances are bringing about major changes in this area, which is essential to world peace. Relationships are no longer based on a North/South or Rich/Poor dichotomy, but on the interdependence of States. In addition, partner countries want to make their voices heard, take action and be stakeholders in the implementation of development programmes. Finally, despite the increase in funding (+160% since 2000), needs are growing and remain immense. The ESEC also draws attention in particular to investment in the ecological transition and sustainable development, which must not be at the expense of aid for food security, education and access to essential healthcare, especially for girls and women
