La cooperazione italiana allo sviluppo alle soglie del 2024: impegni attuali e iniziative future

2023 officially marked the end of the global health crisis brought by the Covid-19 pandemic , but the intensity of other existing crises – climate, food security, debt – has not decreased. In addition, new and old conflicts are (re)emerging that make the operational context increasingly complex for international development practitioners. How has Italy navigated this international landscape in cooperating with partner countries? And what can we expect for 2024, when the Italian Presidency of the G7, new International Development strategic guidelines and the Plan Mattei for Africa will take actual shape?

With a keynote speech delivered by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon. Edmondo Cirielli, this event will provide an opportunity for institutional, political and civil society stakeholders to discuss the current state of Italy’s development cooperation, taking also stock of the results from the 2023 IAI-LAPS survey on Italian citizens’ views on development cooperation.
