🔵 ECDPM was founded in 1986, as the Cold War closed with a tectonic shift for Europe and its partners. Forty years later, we are again in an age of disruption – and Europe has to rethink how it acts on the global stage.

🔵 As the old global order fractures, it is harder – and more important – to get very different actors around the same table.

🔵 International cooperation is not dead – but it has to change. If traditional development cooperation fell short because it was not honest about competing interests, better partnerships will start by listening.
