Website: European Year for Development 2015

2015 has been designated by the European Union as the European Year for Development.

It is the first ever European Year to deal with the European Union's external action and Europe’s role in the world. For development organisations all over Europe it is an opportunity to showcase Europe's commitment to eradicating poverty worldwide and to inspire more Europeans to get engaged and involved in development. 2015 is also the year in which the Millennium Development Goals that the world agreed to reach in 2000, and in which the international community will agree on the future global framework for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
