The Capacity4dev team interviewed international cooperation professionals working at the European Commission for its new series #CooperationTips. Interviewees were asked to share the challenges they face every day at work, how they overcome them and what piece of advice they'd offer to colleagues working in similar fields!
Try to organise the work in a very smooth way for everybody. It's also very important to communicate with everybody, not only with your own teams, but also with other sections, in particular with the cooperation section.

On International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, Capacity4dev Ambassador Cristina Bejenaru, International Consultant at Authentic European Consulting, invites international cooperation professionals to reflect on the critical shifts in global cooperation frameworks. As we confront overlapping crises - geopolitical, environmental, economic, and humanitarian - multilateral diplomacy is under growing pressure. The implications for cooperation work are significant.

God evening all,
During the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa (November 22–23, 2025), the European Union and its partners, under the "Scaling Up Renewables in Africa" campaign, mobilized a total of €15.5 billion to accelerate the clean energy transition across the African continent.
This amount represents a coordinated effort from "Team Europe" (the EU Commission, member States, European financial institutions) and private investors to boost renewable energy generation and provide electricity access to millions of people in Africa.
Key details of the commitment:
Total Amount: €15.5 billion.
Purpose: To support renewable energy expansion and improve electricity access.
Pledging Structure: The total includes pledges from the European Commission, EU Member States, and development finance institutions.
Campaign Lead: The campaign was led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Expected Impact: These commitments aim to add 26.8 GW of new renewable energy capacity and provide electricity access to 17.5 million households.
Our scope for work :
We should work with powerful tools best for complex projects, offering advanced planning, scheduling, and budget management with features that integrate.
General Project Management Software. Known for its attractive visuals and ease of use in tracking tasks and workflow, with features like Gantt charts and customizable dashboards.
These tools are versatile and used across various industries. They are ideal for managing tasks, resources, timelines, and collaboration.
Wth my position as Trusted User in European Union Commission (Capacity4dev ), I suggest an Executive Committee should be in position for monitoring because Africa is my continent and we wish to see the SDR on disbursement of funds to countries involve the project.
Best Regards,
Amb. Mr. Martins Okoh
Working Chairman
