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
    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.

  • Development Committee Statement
    DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (Joint Ministerial Committee of the Boards of Governors of the Bank and the Fund on the Transfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries) SIXTY-SIXTH MEETING WASHINGTON D.C. – SEPTEMBER 28, 2002 DC/S/2002-0060 September 28, 2002 Statement by H.E. Agnes van Ardenne-van der Hoeven Minister for Development Co-operation The Netherlands Implementing The Monterrey Consensus My constituency countries returned from the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD) with the impression that the international community has an impressive track record in reaching agreements. Johannesburg contributed to the adoption of a number of targets, to a clear recognition of the integrated nature of the three pillars of sustainable development (environment, economic and social development) and to widening the scope on international problem resolution by bringing the private sector and NGOs on board. It will be a challenge to integrate the WSSD targets in the MDG framework. The three pillars of sustainable development clearly translate into a continuing need for coherent policies. Involvement of the private sector and NGOs should result in partnerships, thus combining efforts of stakeholders in order to tackle specific problems. In Johannesburg we shared the feeling that the international focus in the coming years should be on implementation. The Netherlands Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said in his speech “we have done the talking, let’s now do the walking”. Now is the time for action and implementation; I am pleased that this is firmly on the agenda of this DC meeting. The WSSD could have been clearer on the need for an integrated follow up to summits of this type; in particular where the relationship between WSSD and Monterrey is concerned.

  • Address to Board Members by Netherlands Alternate Governor 0
    Address by Mrs Agnes VAN ARDENNE-VAN DER HOEVEN Netherlands Alternate Governor and Minister for Development Co-operation The Netherlands as delivered to Members of the Board of the African Development Bank Group Tunis, 7 February 2006 President Kaberuka, Distinguished Executive Directors, Vice Presidents, Members of the Board, Members of staff, Ladies and gentlemen, It is a great pleasure to address this informal meeting of the Board of Executive Directors of the African Development Bank, here at the Temporary Relocation Agency in Tunis, where we are enjoying such splendid surroundings and such warm hospitality. These are exciting and important times for us all: international development is high on the political agenda and so is Africa. A new spirit of mutual cooperation is emerging . As the British Prime Minister Tony Blair said at Gleneagles: "It isn't the end of poverty in Africa, but it is the hope that it can be ended." The growing international consensus on Africa and renewed energy in the Bank will reinvigorate the Bank’s mission to furthering development in Africa. I have full confidence that president Kaberuka will accept the enormous challenges and can lead this Bank in this process. The year 2005 was marked by renewed international commitment to achieve the MDGs. The United Nations Millennium Summit, the G8 Gleneagles Summit and the Commission for Africa were crucial in advancing the cause of development in Africa as they addressed such key issues as doubling aid inflows, improving aid 1 effectiveness, closing the infrastructure gap, providing debt relief, and opening markets. The European Union has played a particular constructive role as a catalyst for the increased aid commitments and consolidating its integrated approach in a new Africa strategy that was approved by the European Council at the end of 2005.

  • Personalization of Political Newspaper Coverage: a Longitudinal Study in the Dutch Context Since 1950
    Personalization of political newspaper coverage: a longitudinal study in the Dutch context since 1950 Ellis Aizenberg, Wouter van Atteveldt, Chantal van Son, Franz-Xaver Geiger VU University, Amsterdam This study analyses whether personalization in Dutch political newspaper coverage has increased since 1950. In spite of the assumption that personalization increased over time in The Netherlands, earlier studies on this phenomenon in the Dutch context led to a scattered image. Through automatic and manual content analyses and regression analyses this study shows that personalization did increase in The Netherlands during the last century, the changes toward that increase however, occurred earlier on than expected at first. This study also shows that the focus of reporting on politics is increasingly put on the politician as an individual, the coverage in which these politicians are mentioned however became more substantive and politically relevant. Keywords: Personalization, content analysis, political news coverage, individualization, privatization Introduction When personalization occurs a focus is put on politicians and party leaders as individuals. The context of the news coverage in which they are mentioned becomes more private as their love lives, upbringing, hobbies and characteristics of personal nature seem increasingly thoroughly discussed. An article published in 1984 in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf forms a good example here, where a horse race betting event, which is attended by several ministers accompanied by their wives and girlfriends is carefully discussed1. Nowadays personalization is a much-discussed phenomenon in the field of political communication. It can simply be seen as: ‘a process in which the political weight of the individual actor in the political process increases 1 Ererondje (17 juli 1984).
