".
I voted for this report, which advocates, in general terms, a ‘reinforced culture of consultation and dialogue’ with Non-State Actors (NSAs) as a means of increasing the effectiveness of European Union development policy.
Interaction between the different actors – local, institutional and others, such as civil society – is indeed increasingly important, at national and international levels. It is one way of obtaining the answer which is still urgently needed if we are to help the world’s least-favoured regions.
Having made this general observation, I must nevertheless point out, in relation to the rapporteur’s comments on the ever-greater cuts in Community assistance to various NGOs, that the participation of non-state actors is not in itself a guarantee that development policies will be effective. We must encourage greater participation and involvement on the part of actors who neither support ideological or programmatic campaigns nor promote their own agendas, but rather are truly generous, disinterested and altruistic in their aims, and whose actions consequently bear the most real and tangible fruit on the ground.
It behoves us, then, to put a premium on the ‘quality’ rather than on the quantity of participation."@en1
