1.2. Policy context
The policy context for working better together in a Team Europe approach is based on: the EU’s commitments on development effectiveness, adopted in 2011 in Busan, the Global Strategy for the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy, the new European Consensus on Development, the Neighbourhood, Development, and International Cooperation Instrument - Global Europe (NDICI-Global Europe) Regulation and the EU Global Gateway strategy and other related or upcoming EU policies with an external dimension. While this approach can be adapted to different contexts and is continuously evolving, the guiding principle remains for the EU to work better together with European actors to achieve a greater collective impact that contributes to poverty eradication and sustainable development.
