Consider the Netherlands’ role in facilitating tax avoidance, depriving developing countries of a large amount of money. What the Netherlands gives with its development spending on the one hand, it takes away on the other. To prevent Dutch policy from counteracting, Partos argues for policy coherence for development, in which non-development policy contributes to sustainable development.
Building Change
Partos, under the name ‘Building Change‘, is working with Foundation Max van der Stoel and Woord en Daad to put policy coherence for sustainable development firmly on the map in the Netherlands. Together, we advocate for fair Dutch policies that do not negatively impact sustainable development in low-income countries.
