2015 has been declared the European Year for Development. For 30 years now, European Years have been encouraging debate and exchanges of views between citizens and policy-makers around a given theme. However, this is the first time that a European year will be looking at what the Union does outside its borders, raising awareness and engaging with citizens and the broader public on the role of the EU as a global player, around the motto 'Our world, our dignity, our future'. The European Union (EU) and its 28 Member States together remain the world's biggest aid donor: in 2013 they provided €56.5 billion in official development assistance - more than half of global official aid. The EU has long been a driving force for international cooperation, not only in providing financial support but also in pushing international debate forward. Through its 'Agenda for Change', in 2011 the EU adopted a strategy designed to transform the way in which Europe fights poverty, with funds targeted at those countries most in need and at a limited number of sectors where the greatest impact and results can be achieved. The aim is to enable people, in particular the most vulnerable - starting with women, children and young people - to move out of poverty and stay out of it. The EU is also closely involved in the ongoing discussions about the future of sustainable development. 2015 is set to be a watershed year for development globally. It is the deadline for meeting the current Millennium Development Goals, which international leaders agreed upon in 2000, in a pledge to reduce global poverty and save millions of lives. It will also bring important new decisions on development, environment and climate policies, with the world seeking to agree on a future framework for eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable development at the September 2015 UN General Assembly.--
