EU News: EU surpasses US as top donor in population
assistance, finds Euromapping 2009
1 September
DSW and the European Parliamentary
Forum on Population and Development (EPF) released the 2009 edition of
their Euromapping report, an annual publication that provides comparative
information about European ODA, official commitments to Sexual and
Reproductive Health (SRH) and funding flows for population assistance. The
collective efforts of the European Union (EU) have made it the single
greatest donor of population assistance worldwide. According to the
Euromapping 2009 report, in 2006 the EU spent nearly US$ 3 billion on
population programmes and activities, increasing its aid by US$ 600
million. The US decreased its aid by nearly the same amount.

EU News: Committee on Development of the European
Parliament adopts amendments to EU budget 2010
3 September
The Members of the Committee on
Development (DEVE) of the European Parliament voted on proposed amendments
to the EU’s preliminary draft budget 2010. The amendment tabled by Dutch
MEP Thijs Berman (Socialists & Democrats) asks for an increase of Euro
10 million of EC funding to health under the Investing in People
programme, and was adopted by the Committee. One of the priority areas of
this increased financial support would be the improvement of reproductive
and sexual health in developing countries. The adopted amendments from
DEVE will now, together with the proposals of the other specialized
committees, be handed to the Budget Committee.
More information can
