Interview
“With technical assistance, the European Union supports sustainable growth and decent jobs in developing countries”
An interview with Erica Gerretsen, Acting Director for sustainable finance at DG International Partnerships, European Commission
In this interview, INPA's Erica Gerretsen speaks of the need to mobilise funds to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries, citing the need to promote partnerships. The European Union's partner countries, especially in Africa, want to ensure their citizens have sustainable livelihoods. They also want to shift to inclusive, green economies with extensive digitalisation. These are EU priorities too. To implement these common priorities, innovative financial instruments and technical assistance are enabling a dynamic private sector engaging whole populations.
