Addressing income inequalities through development cooperation. Volume 2, Policy briefs to tackle inequalities

The objective of this reference document is to support the ongoing effort of the European Union (EU) to strengthen its approach to development cooperation to address inequalities in its partner countries. While recognising the importance of all forms of inequality, the document will focus primarily on income inequality, effective policy responses and how to address inequality in development cooperation. Volume 2 presents 18 briefs on policies with a demonstrated impact on inequalities. The policy areas covered are health and nutrition, education, social protection, transport and mobility, energy, climate change, water and sanitation, land, urban development, territorial development, public finance (i.e. taxation), trade, growth, digitalisation, financial inclusion, labour and employment, governance and the rule of law, and gender. No particular priority is assigned to any of the policy areas covered, since all of them have effects on inequalities.
