The CEF Getting Ready to Host the learn4dev Annual Meeting 2014

The CEF attended meeting of the learn4dev Core Group where it reported about the progress in preparations for the learn4dev Annual Meeting 2014 and exchanged experiences and ideas with the organizers of the previous meeting. We are organizing the annual meeting together with Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). It will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia on June 16-18.

Members of the core group also exchanged information about what’s happening in the field of development cooperation, were informed about the current activities of the Expert Groups, discussed options for improving learning and knowledge sharing among learn4dev members, and reflected on the major benefits of the network. The meeting took place in Brussels on February 6-7, 2014.

The CEF has been in the past months active in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Expert Group. Since June 2013, we have been co-chairing this Expert Group together with the UK Department for International Development and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. The group promotes training courses and publications in the field of PFM, offered by learn4dev’s member organizations.
