• The proposal for a new European Consensus on Development reflects a
  paradigm-shift in development cooperation under the 2030 Agenda,
  responding to the more complex and interconnected challenges the world
  faces today.
• The proposal puts forward shared vision and framework for action for all EU
  Institutions and all Member States, with particular emphasis on cross-cutting
  drivers of development, such as gender equality, youth, sustainable energy
  and climate action, investment, migration and mobility.
• The aim is to increase the credibility, effectiveness and impact of EU
  development policy, based on shared analysis, common strategies, joint
  programming, joint action and improved reporting.
• The new Consensus should frame all development policy activities of the EU
  and its Member States. An example of this approach is the proposed European
  External Investment Plan which will use Official Development Assistance to
  leverage funding from other sources to generate sustainable growth for the benefit of the poorest.
