Committee on European Union Affairs

Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Ms Celia Cranfield:

When we look at ODA as a finite resource and what it can go into, if we are not sure the private sector money is going to flow and European businesses are in, and it is for getting critical raw materials for Europe, where is the sustainable development impact for the partner country? Yes, there are a few jobs in a few key niche sectors but how is the partner country’s health and education systems being supported in this way?
