From AID effectiveness to development effectiveness
This year the European Development Days were organised by the Polish government in Warsaw. H.R.H.Princess Abze participated in the discussions how to improve development effectiveness. Where the focus in the past was on providing aid to the African countries it has become clear this is not the best way to grow and to develop the African countries. Key is to facilitate the countries to provide means to their citizens so they can grow and develop themselves.
In Warsaw many high level representatives from both European and African countries participated. H.R.H. Princess Abze discussed how to facilitate West African countries best with many of them.
