Ring out the old, Ring in the new


Welcome back! A new year … a new decade… And of course New Year's resolutions – because, unlike many of my (perhaps more realistic) colleagues, I did make a couple this year.

Results require action.

This year marks a new, fresh start for CONCORD in the way of approaching several issues we have been working on, which we are hoping will produce some new results. We look forward to convening, connecting and collaborating with a wider range of allies and partners, both in Europe and beyond. By the way, we will be thinking through knotty issues together – such as exploring the new focus on international partnerships and what it means for development cooperation.
