Enabel Annual report 2015

2015 was a pivotal year for international cooperation. The aid paradigm of the past fifteen years –the Millennium Development Goals, the financial commitments of Monterrey and the Paris Declaration – needed to be thoroughly reviewed. The quick and especially profound changes and the global challenges that humanity is facing are addressed with new financial commitments (Addis Abeba –July 2015) and the Sustainable Development Goals (New York – September 2015): the 2030 Agenda. Unlike the preceding paradigm, the 2030 Agenda is a universal and comprehensive one: It targets all countries and all aspects of human activity. The traditional development funds and actors alone cannot achieve these ambitions. Other means – such as private investments, taxes and the fight against illicit financial flows – are needed and other players – in particular the private sector – must be involved in the effort.
Because of the changing context, BTC already in 2014 started a strategic debate to allow us to remain relevant and effective over the coming fifteen years. Alexander De Croo, Minister of Development Cooperation, urged BTC to be ambitious and innovative.
In 2015, we worked hard at a proposal for a renewed and modern development agency. A proposal was submitted to the Minister on 31 October. A major aspect of the proposal was to broaden the mandate of the future organisation to carry out and coordinate activities for the account of the whole of the federal government under the framework of the 2030 Agenda. The proposal also pertained to a clearer separation of duties between BTC and the administration, a more flexible programme cycle and a changed relation with the Belgian embassies. In 2016, the proposal was submitted for approval to Belgium's Council of Ministers and to a great extent approved.
