Description
The Wales for Africa programme launched in 2006. It has become a beacon for Welsh efforts to help deliver the UN Millennium Development Goals to halve global poverty by 2015. The main responsibility for international development within the United Kingdom lies with the UK Department for International Development (DfID). However, there is a demand within Wales for there to be an identifiable Welsh response to contributing to international development and addressing emergencies. Actions that we take in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) must have a benefit to Wales as well as to the developing world. This imposes limits to the range of activities we can support but at the same time ensures that our actions will be more sustainable and based on equal partnerships. The Wales for Africa programme seeks to: •encourage public sector placements and twinning which contribute to MDG delivery; •build the capacity of small Welsh International Development Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and aid the co-ordination of the sector as a whole in order to strengthen Wales’ impact on MDG delivery; •promote and encourage international sustainable development volunteering to the Welsh public and public sector staff; •work with partners to facilitate the work of diaspora communities in Wales in maximising their impact on MDG delivery in their home country; •promote best practice in Fair trade and ethical procurement across the public and private sector in Wales - making Wales a beacon of fair trade and ethical procurement in Europe.
