What is WECA?
The next five years will be decisive for the future direction of international development cooperation in general and European Union cooperation in particular. The EC plays a crucial role in EU development cooperation, as a facilitator as well as a sizeable donor in its own right. Despite ambitious international aid goals, there is a lack of shared understanding of key underlying issues that shape the EC aid effectiveness debate. In order to move forward on the road from Paris to Accra and beyond, it is therefore necessary to map the different perceptions and assumptions shaping this debate.‘Whither EC Aid?’ is a joint ActionAid-ECDPM project on the future of European Commission Aid. Both ActionAid and ECDPM have long track records of working on EU development policy. We aim to re-position the debate on monitoring the effectiveness of EC development cooperation by seeking to open it up and bring in the views of a wide variety of stakeholders. On this website, you can find the latest information on the project and contribute directly to the debate about EC aid.
