KARAT Coalition together with One World Action seek a short-term consultant to research the extent to which the EU commitment on women’s empowerment and gender equality has informed Polish development cooperation policies, programmes and processes. Research findings will support awareness-raising and capacity-building within Poland and at the European and Member States levels. This project is part of a joint One World Action and KARAT initiative: Connect! East/South/West Women for development which aims at supporting CSOs in engaging with policy-makers and the public for gender sensitive development cooperation.
Terms of references to the research is available HERE

On 19th May, 2011 the flagship AidWatch CONCORD Report "Challenging self-interest: Getting EU aid fit for the fight against poverty" was launched in Brussels.

The most alarming conclusion of the report is that aid is becoming increasingly dictated by domestic political agendas and tied to security, immigration and commercial objectives rather than poverty reduction.
