16/11/2016 (Agence Europe) – Aid improvement and efficiency is the theme of the sixth Aidex meeting. Aidex is the largest international humanitarian and development aid platform in the world and meets on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 November in Brussels. This annual conference seeks to encourage the international aid and development community to involve the private sector in collective efforts to cover the increasing need for humanitarian aid and development assistance. Aid improvement and efficiency is part of the international development agenda and a global partnership (see EUROPE 11664). It will also guide the new “European Consensus” (between the European Parliament, Council of the EU and European Commission) on future development aid policy (see EUROPE 11606) and post-2020 ACP/EU (see EUROPE 11639).
