The EU is assisting the implementation of the government's transitional economic development programme. After two devastating civil wars (1989-1996 and 1999-2003), this programme is consolidating national peace and putting the West African nation on a path of poverty reduction. Civil war destroyed the country's infrastructure and significantly eroded a once large human capital base.

EU development policy seeks to foster the sustainable development of developing countries, with the primary aim of eradicating poverty. It is a cornerstone of EU relations with the outside world and contributes to the objectives of EU external action - alongside foreign, security and trade policy (and international aspects of other policies like environment, agriculture and fisheries).

Providing over 50% of all global development aid, the EU and its Member States are collectively the world's leading donor.

EU action on development is based on the EU treaties and on the 2006 European Consensus on Development, which commits the EU Council, European Parliament and Commission to a common vision. In 2011, the Commission set out a more strategic EU approach to reducing poverty, including a more targeted and concentrated allocation of funding; the Agenda for Change. Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the international community at the UN Summit in September 2015, the EU is now working towards a new European Consensus on Development as a new common vision for development policy for the EU and its Member States.

The Millennium Development Goals (or MDGs), which expired at the end of 2015, made an enormous contribution in raising public awareness, increasing political will and mobilising resources to end poverty. (Find out more about how the EU has contributed to the MDGs in the MDG Brochure 2015.)

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development builds on these successes of the MDGs but also goes further; incorporating follow-up from the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, and aiming to address poverty eradication together with the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Issues addressed by the MDGs have been integrated into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The EU also promotes Policy Coherence for Development, to maximise the development impact of other EU policies.

The EU is strongly committed to making aid more effective. The European Commission is part of the Steering Committee of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation.

Together, the EU institutions and countries are the world's leading donor of development assistance and cooperation. The EU proposes legislation and policies to promote good governance and human and economic development, such as fighting hunger and preserving natural resources.

Responding to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, EU institutions work together and provide funding to address the following five aspects of sustainable development:

People: End poverty and hunger in all forms and ensure dignity and equality

Planet: Protect future generations from environmental destruction and resource depletion

Prosperity: Ensure prosperous and fulfilling lives in harmony with nature

Peace: Create peaceful, just and inclusive societies

Partnership: Implement development work through global partnership

EU actions per sector

The EU cooperates with 150 partner countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, as well as civil society and international organisations. In addition to providing financial aid and engaging in dialogues with partner countries, the EU also conducts research and evaluation to ensure that aid is used effectively.
