With the arrival of the Rutte II cabinet, a wish of the members of the Fair, Green and Global Alliance (FGG) has come true; trade and global development are under the supervision of the same minister. Policy coherence in rich countries is the key to sustainable and equitable development. To actually help strengthen Trade and Aid , the Minister will be engaged in a balancing act for the next four years.
In ‘Balancing Trade and Aid’, the members of the FGG Alliance have formulated a number of recommendations to Minister Ploumen, based on their years of experience in the field of policy coherence and international trade.
