NZADDs was born out of a desire to stimulate more informed discussion regarding the how and why of NZ aid and development work. In particular, NZADDs emerged in response to the current changes in New Zealand’s government aid programme. We are concerned about these changes and so throughout 2011 NZADDs will focus predominantly on this area, even though our area of interest is aid and international development more broadly.

NZADDs Speaking Event in March
In 2009 the National government changed the mandate of the New Zealand government aid programme. From poverty elimination it was changed to sustainable development, with the key focus on economic development. From 21-25 March 2011, former NZAID staffer Terence Wood will host a series of talks looking at the question “is a focus on economic development really is the best possible way an aid agency can attempt to bring about development more generally?”
Talks will be held in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and maybe Christchurch. Stay tuned for more information on the dates of the talks.
