Can trade be a tool to alleviate poverty and make developing countries less dependent on what Museveni describes as ‘handouts’ from the rich countries? What are the views and objectives of the Netherlands government on this? The Netherlands government does not subscribe to the extreme view of ‘trade, not aid’ nor to the opposite view of ‘aid, not trade’. It considers aid and trade to be two major intervention strategies, each of which can contribute to poverty alleviation. It also believes that aid can be essential to help developing countries to profit from trade and trade liberalisation. For that reason the Netherlands actively supports policies and instruments that enable poor countries and poor people to profit from international trade. A major objective of Netherlands foreign policy is the further integration of developing countries into the world trading system. Trade-Related Technical Assistance (TRTA) is considered to be one of the key instruments to contribute to this integration, together with the removal of trade barriers to developing countries. TRTA is a collective term for different types of technical assistance aimed at strengthening developing countries’ trade-related negotiating capacity, national trade policy and/or capacity to trade. The Netherlands has twinned the objective of integration with the objective of trade liberalisation. It considers two criteria to be important for trade liberalisation: the liberalisation has to be rule-based and pro-poor. Furthermore, it considers that the most important way of contributing to rule-based trade liberalisation is to strengthen the multilateral trade system and the participation of poor countries in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as the rule-making body and global 3 parliament of international trade in which every member state has equal voting powers. Consequently, the Netherlands has supported TRTA (as provided by the WTO, other multilateral agencies and international NGOs) to help developing countries to understand, negotiate and implement multilateral trade agreements. To contribute to pro-poor trade liberalisation, the Netherlands not only wishes to strengthen the negotiation capacity of poor countries at multilateral trade talks but also to strengthen these countries’ capacity to develop pro-poor trade policy and to trade. To this end, the Netherlands has supported TRTA (through multi- lateral and bilateral channels) to address institutional problems and supply-side constraints of developing countries. The Netherlands considers TRTA to be a form of aid to prepare developing countries to integrate or further integrate into the world trading system and to profit from international trade, trade negotiations and trade liberalisation. TRTA is the fishing rod meant to help developing countries to catch bigger fish through international trade. The Dutch views on TRTA are not unique but are in fact shared by nearly all the WTO members. Ever since the very first Ministerial Conference of the WTO in Singapore in 1996, the international donor community has made firm commitments to provide and coordinate TRTA. A proposal to launch an Aid for Trade? Facility is currently being discussed in depth by donors in the run-up to the sixth Ministerial Conference to be held in December 2005 in Hong Kong. Whereas the Netherlands and other donors have developed a strong interest in value for money, little is known about results of TRTA in terms of output, outcome and impact. This evaluation therefore seeks to explore and assess the results of TRTA funded or co-funded by the Netherlands. It has focused on programmes and organisations that the Netherlands has considered to be of strategic importance.

Over the years, poverty alleviation, private sector development and security have been dominant focus areas of Dutch development cooperation, with PSD taking a central role as it was assumed that poverty could only be alleviated when a country’s economy is stimulated. Therefore, the Dutch government has been strongly supporting policies and initiatives stimulating PSD in the Netherlands and in developing countries. The long history of Dutch development cooperation shows continuity in its approach towards development policy as a way of promoting Dutch businesses and export in developing countries. Introduction This paper reviews Dutch development cooperation policies for the years 1949-2015 with particular attention for private sector development (PSD). Moreover, this appraisal examines a potential role for Dutch development policies in creating an enabling environment for the ‘home’ (Dutch) and ‘host’ (recipient) private sector to generate (productive) employment. Since the end of the Second World War, the Netherlands has been an active supporter of international development aid.

    Speech by Agnes van Ardenne-Van der Hoeven, Minister for Development Cooperation. Cordaid, ICCO and ISS Conference “Religion: A Source for Human Rights and Development Cooperation” 7 September 2005, Soesterberg The outstretched hand (During the speech, a photograph is projected showing the outstretched hand of a white missionary, holding the hand of an emaciated Ugandan child) [Introduction] Ladies and gentlemen, The Old Testament says “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor in the land”. In development cooperation, the world is the land. This photograph is called “Hands” and it goes to the core of what we do: human hands as a symbol of the poverty that divides the world. But these hands are also a symbol of the compassion that can unite us, that can make us reach out and lend a helping hand. In this case, compassion flows from a religious source. The helping hand is the hand of a missionary. When I was a child development cooperation had the face of a missionary. Every once in a while, missionaries would visit my parents’ house and tell us about the poor and needy far beyond our borders. They would tell us how we could reach out, so that they could live their lives in dignity, and what I, a child living in a small village in the Netherlands, could do for children like the one in this photograph. But the truth is that the helping hand in this photo could just as easily have been the hand of a Muslim.

  • Reaching Our Development Goals: Why Does Aid Effectiveness Matter?
    Better aid… Reaching Our Development Goals: because it matters. Why Does Aid Effectiveness Matter? This booklet aims to stimulate dialogue around the aid reform effort embodied by the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. It reminds us of why this agreement is important, outlines what objectives have been set, and points to what still needs to be accomplished. This effort is driving many actors in developing countries—56 of whom participated in the 2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration— aid agencies, global funds and civil society groups to reflect and act together within the widest consultative process ever convened on development assistance. This booklet reflects that process, bringing together a range of voices on aid and its quality. “... the true test The Millennium of aid effectiveness is Development Goals improvement in people’s lives.” Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger – 2006 Survey on Monitoring the Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Paris Declaration, OECD (2007) Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development Reaching Our Development Goals: Why Does Aid Effectiveness Matter? In September 2000, world leaders made a series of historic commitments at the United Nations Millennium Summit. They pledged to work together to free their fellow human beings from the “abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty” and to “make the right to development a reality for everyone.” Their wide-ranging commitments—now known as the MDGs—include efforts to address environmental degradation, gender inequality and HIV/AIDs as well as improve access to education, health care and clean water for the world’s poorest.

  • Bezinning Op Het Buitenland
    Duco Hellema, Mathieu Segers en Jan Rood (red.) Bezinning op het buitenland Het Nederlands buitenlands beleid Zijn de traditionele ijkpunten van het naoorlogse Nederlandse buitenlandse beleid in een onzekere wereld nog up to date? In hoeverre kan het bestaande buitenlandse beleid van Nederland nog gebaseerd worden op de traditionele consensus rond de drie beginselen van (1) trans-Atlantisch veiligheidsbeleid, (2) Europese economische integratie volgens de communautaire methode, en (3) ijveren voor versterking van de internationale (rechts)orde en haar multilaterale instellingen? Is er sprake van een teloorgang van die consensus en verwarring over de nieuwe werkelijkheid? Recente internationale ontwikkelingen op veiligheidspolitiek, economisch, financieel, monetair en institutioneel terrein, als mede op het gebied van mensenrechten en Duco Hellema, Mathieu Segers en Jan Rood (red.) ontwikkelingssamenwerking, dagen uit tot een herbezinning op de kernwaarden en uitgangspunten van het Nederlandse buitenlandse beleid. Het lijkt daarbij urgent een dergelijke herbezinning nu eens niet louter ‘van buiten naar binnen’, maar ook andersom vorm te geven. Het gaat derhalve niet alleen om de vraag wat de veranderingen in de wereld voor gevolgen (moeten) hebben voor het Nederlandse buitenlands beleid. Ook dient nagegaan te worden in hoeverre de Nederlandse perceptie van de eigen rol in de internationale politiek (nog) adequaat is. In verlengde hiervan zijn meer historische vragen te stellen. In hoeverre is daadwerkelijk sprake van constanten in het

  • Aantal Woorden: 13.141
    Aantal woorden: 13.141 Samenvatting Wat zijn de mechanismen achter de fluctuatie van het aantal vrouwen op de kieslijsten voor de Tweede Kamer van 1967 tot 2021? Eerder onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat vrouwenorganisaties, politieke partijen en de overheid invloed hebben op de stijging in het percentage vrouwelijke politici. Daarin blijft de aanmelding voor de kandidatenlijst van een partij onderbelicht en ligt de nadruk op de verkozen politici. Dit onderzoek neemt een stap terug en kijkt naar de aanmeldingen en selectieprocedures van partijen. Uit een vergelijking van de situatie in Nederland met die in Finland blijkt dat in Nederland het kostwinnersmodel met haar invloed op de komst van sociale wetgeving ervoor zorgde dat weinig vrouwen de baan van Kamerlid ambieerden. Een vergelijking van de kandidaten selectieprocedures van de Partij van de Arbeid, D66 en (de moederpartijen van) GroenLinks over de periode van 1967-2021 laat zien dat beleid maken om evenredige presentatie te realiseren werkt maar dat vastlegging in regelementen geen noodzaak is. Vanuit het vraag en aanbodmodel gezien hadden al deze partijen een grote vraag naar vrouwelijke kandidaat Kamerleden gedurende de hele periode. Het aanbod aan vrouwelijke Kandidaten lijkt echter bijna de gehele periode klein te zijn. Er is geprobeerd aan de vraag van de politieke partijen te voldoen door de inzet van vrouwenorganisaties, beleid van de partijen en problematisering van de ondervertegenwoordiging van vrouwen in de politiek door de overheid. Toch steeg het aantal aanmeldingen van vrouwen om zich te kandideren voor de Tweede Kamer weinig. Interviews met oud Kamerleden hebben inzicht gegeven in de verklaring voor het kleine aanbod.
