As we have been informing our readers in recent weeks, our next Brussels Development Briefing will take place on the 22 February 2012 and will be organised in partnership with the African Union Commission, the European Commission (DG DEVCO) the ACP Secretariat, Concord and various media partners.
Pastoralism will be at the core of our next Brussels Briefing. We will discuss the main challenges affecting the pastoralists, especially in the ACP countries, and the opportunities provided by existing continental and regional policy frameworks and processes. It will then focus on sharing good practices and experiences from the field across regions. We will also identify what urgent and concrete policy actions need to be in place to increase support pastoralism.
The Briefing will be fully webstreamed in English and French (from 8h30 a.m. to13.00 p.m. CET)

According to VibeGhana, the EU Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Claude Maerten, recently assured that despite the current economic crisis in Europe, the EU would always stand by Ghana in its development endeavour.
