LIVE: European Development Days
The European Development Days are Europe’s premier forum on international affairs and development cooperation, every year attracting political leaders and world-renowned authorities on development.
This year ONE has partnered up with Oxfam International, Caritas Europa, and Polish Humanitarian Action, to organise a high-level event on “How to prevent another famine in the Horn of Africa: the role of the EU in building resilience”.
Follow the debate live, here on ONE.org, on Friday 16 December at 11am CET (10 am GMT):
This panel will bring together practitioners from the field and policy-makers in the EU to exchange experiences on responding to the Horn of Africa famine and discuss how to prevent another crisis on this scale. The speakers include Kristalina Gerogieva, European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Fran Equiza, Oxfam GB’s regional director for the Horn, East and Central Africa, and Marc Breusers from Caritas Belgium.
You can also follow the discussion on twitter via the #EDDendfamine hashtag.
