Germany hosts conference on deforestation-free supply chains and sustainable palm oil production

The German development (BMZ) and agriculture (BMEL) ministries co-hosted a conference on the link between consumption and deforestation: “Approaches for sustainable and deforestation-free supply chains – cross-learnings from palm oil, cocoa and soy”. Minister Schmidt (BMEL) emphasized that Germany will aim to reach 100% sustainable palm oil production. Similar achievements could be made in cocoa and soy production if public and private stakeholders exchange knowledge and cooperate on supply chain management.

This conference occurred in the context of Germany's leadership role in the Amsterdam Group. This group - comprised by Germany, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark - was consituted in December 2015 with the signing of the Amsterdam Declaration, which included the commitment to purchase 100% sustainable palm oil by the year 2020.

Council of the EU kicks off next steps for SDGs

The Council of the EU reiterated the EU’s strong commitment to the 2030 Agenda and to mainstream the SDGs into all policy areas. By mid-2018, the Commission should draft an SDG implementation strategy with timelines, objectives, and concrete measures. The strategy should identify policy, legislation, and governance structures for horizontal coherence and implementation gaps at the EU level. The Council urged the full range of actors across the EU – including governments at all levels, private sector, and civil society – to support SDG implementation.

advocates for Donor Tracker

The Donor Tracker is an excellent tool for advocates everywhere to understand ODA budget processes in other countries and who the key players are in development policy.

Dr Christoph Benn, Director of External Relations at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Geneva

There is a lot of data available out there on official development assistance – but there is not a lot of in-depth analysis to help people understand the political and practical contexts in which donors make their ODA funding decisions. The Donor Tracker pulls this all together.

Ann Starrs, President and CEO of the Guttmacher Institute in New York

To advance the global health agenda, it is important to understand how donors think: What is important to them, what do they fund? Which political factors influence their preferences? The Donor Tracker responds to these questions for every major donor. It’s incredibly useful.

Dean Jamison, Professor of Global Health at the University of California in San Francisco

The Donor Tracker provides advocates working in global development with information that is critical for their work: It explains how political decisions are taken, what kind of strategic priorities donors have and helps them to identify key advocacy opportunities during the political year.

Joe Cerrell, Managing Director, Global Policy and Advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
