EYD2015 in a nutshell
One •
common •
motto:
Our world,
our dignity,
•
our future

Main focus: informing and
engaging EU citizens
Design and implementation:
at EU level + decentralised to
Member States, civil society and
all interested stakeholders
EU Delegations: invited to promote
EYD in partner countries
Three key objectives

1
Inform Union
citizens about EU
development cooperation
highlighting the results
that the Union, acting
together with the
Member States, has
achieved as a global
actor and will continue to
pursue with the post-2015
framework

2
Foster direct
involvement,
critical thinking
and active interest
of Union citizens
and stakeholders
in development
cooperation
including in policy
formulation
and implementation

Raise awareness
of the benefits
of EU development
cooperation – for
beneficiaries and Union
citizens; achieve
a broader understanding

A successful EYD2015 is…
•
All stakeholders are on board and work together:
the EYD2015 is a truly European Year, not only a
EuropeAid or a European Commission Year
•
Indicators show that the three objectives are being
reached: citizens and stakeholders are better informed,
aware of the challenges of an interdependent world and
actively involved
•
EU Delegations and organisations on the ground are on
board promoting the EYD in partner countries and
bringing the stories from the field
