Key Question NL Donor Profile KEY QUESTION Who are the main actors in Dutch development cooperation? Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Coop- eration leads; no implementation agency Currently, Prime Minister Mark Rutte (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, VVD) leads a coalition govern- ment with the Labour Party (PvdA) until the next elec- tions in March 2017. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) defines priorities for Dutch development policy. The MFA is headed by Bert Koenders (PvdA). The Minis- ter for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation (MFTDC), Lilianne Ploumen (PvdA), who is part of the MFA, leads the MFA’s work on development cooperation. Within the MFA, the Directorate-General for Internation- al Cooperation (DGIS) is responsible for designing and coordinating the implementation of development policy, and is led by Director General Christiaan Rebergen, for- merly the Dutch Ambassador for the Millennium Devel- opment Goals. The Netherlands does not have an imple- menting agency; the Dutch embassies are in charge of strategic planning and administration of bilateral pro- grams. The role of Parliament is to scrutinize development poli- cy and budget allocations. Parliament can annually amend the government’s draft budget bill and has the right to initialize a parliamentary debate. Parliamentary debates in November/December can lead to significant changes to the ODA budget. Dutch civil society organizations (CSO) play an active role in Dutch development cooperation. The develop- ment CSO umbrella association is Partos, and represents over 100 such organizations. They lobby the Parliament and the MFA. Many CSOs implement their own in-coun- try programs, and are funded by the Dutch government and through private donations. In 2014, more than a fifth of the country’s bilateral ODA was channeled through CSOs. However, since 2015, program funding for CSOs ac- tive within sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has been sharply cut, and a larger focus is placed on strategic partnerships and advocacy (for more details, see question two: “What are the Netherland’s strategic priorities for development?“).

Particularly now that many important decisions are made at a European level, effective parliamentary scrutiny plays a Innovative & Inspiring 7 major role. And that is why it is essential that national parliaments and the European Parlia- ment join forces and work together. It was in this spirit that, during the six months of the Dutch Presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate made it their goal to encourage cooperation between parliamentarians and so increase their joint effectiveness.

    Unofficial translation of the letter from the Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Eritrean diaspora tax in Europe report The original Dutch letter can be found here: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/documenten/kamerstukken/2017/09/18/kamerbrief-over-eritrese- diasporabelasting To: Chair of the second chamber of the Dutch Parliament Date: 18 September 2017 Subject: Eritrean diaspora tax in Europe Dear Chair, In a letter to your Chamber on 15 December 2016 (“Eritrea and the influence of Eritrea in the Netherlands”, kst 22831-125), the Cabinet stated that it would commission a study into the diaspora tax in several European countries. This study was requested by your Chamber as per the motion 119 of Parliament member Karabulut (Kst 22 813-119). The research has now been completed and the Cabinet hereby presents the research report, titled “The 2% Tax for Eritreans in the diaspora”.1 The DSP-research, background and methodology In 2016, several options were explored for investigating “the nature and extent of the diaspora taxation in the European context”, as was requested in the motion. Contact with the European External Action Service (EEAS) in Brussels and with the relevant EU member states showed that there was no political support, or a sense of priority, for a common European study into this subject from other member states. Following this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs commissioned its own study in seven countries. This study was executed by the DSP-groep in Amsterdam in cooperation with European External Policy Advisors (EEPA) in Brussels and the Tilburg University. The DSP-groep has previously produced a qualitative study into the integration of Eritreans and issues in the Eritrean community in the Netherlands for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment.

Dit beleidsverslag is een verantwoording van het gevoerde beleid van het partijbestuur. Twee gebeurtenissen waren van grote invloed op de partij zoals die thans (medio april 2008) functio­ neert. Ten eerste de vervroegde Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van november 2006, weliswaar met het zetelver­ lies, maar toch met als resultaat dat de PvdA op 22 februari 2007 zijn rol als oppositiepartij verwissel­ de voor die van regeringspartij. Per genoemde datum vormt de PvdA samen met het CDA en de Christen Unie het kabinet-Balkenende IV. Ten tweede de tussentijdse partijbestuurswisseling. Het in december 2005 gekozen partijbestuur trad in april 2007 vervroegd af. Op voorwerk van een interim-bestuur koos het PvdA-congres op 6 oktober 2007 een nieuw partijbestuur.

Selon le VVD, les Pays-Bas pourraient jouer un rôle dans la lutte contre le terrorisme et l’endiguement du flux des réfugiés en Libye, « une idée qui s’aligne sur la position du dirigeant VVD Halbe Zijlstra qui souhaite renforcer la frontière sud de l’Europe ».

Twitcident has been developed to process and filter this information in real-time for interested parties by monitoring a set of predefined topics, exploiting humans as sensors. An analysis of the relevant information by an operator can result in an estimation of severity, and an operator can act accordingly. However, among all relevant and useful content that is extracted, also a lot of irrelevant noise is present. Our goal is to improve the filter in such a way that the majority of information pre- sented by Twitcident is relevant. To this end we designed an artifact consisting of several components, developed within a dynamic framework.
