Stati Generali della Solidarietà e della Cooperazione
07/10/2007 "Soddisfazione verso gli impegni economici espressi sull’Aiuto Pubblico allo Sviluppo ed sulla cooperazione internazionale". E' il giudizio degli Stati Generali della Solidarietà e della Cooperazione Internazionale dopo un’attenta analisi e valutazione del Documento di Programmazione Economica e Finanziaria (Dpef) presentato la scorsa settimana dal Governo italiano. "L’aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo è entrato a chiare lettere nel decreto, rispondendo alle sollecitazioni più volte fatte dal mondo della solidarietà e della cooperazione" - dichiara la coordinatrice degli Stati Generali, Raffaella Chiodo. Il Dpef detta infatti il progressivo innalzamento della percentuale del Pil destinata all’Aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo con l'intento di avvicinarsi il più possibile all'obiettivo dello 0,51%. Positivi i segnali anche rispetto alle questioni ambientali, "ma ancora non c’è una proposta organica".
