INTRODUCTION
The commitment to fight poverty is a priority on Europe's agenda as a global actor: the
European Union and its Member States provide more than half of official aid worldwide at
€53.8 billion (2010) and the eradication of poverty is enshrined in EU treaties as the
common goal of development policy.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were agreed in 20001 remain at the
heart of development cooperation. The international community made a commitment “to
free fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanising condition of
extreme poverty.” Concretely, this declaration of active solidarity was translated into
eight specific goals2:
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Achieve universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal health
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development
Good progress has been achieved towards some of these development goals so far; in
particular, the world poverty rate is projected to fall below 15% by 2015, a significant
improvement on the set goal of 23%. There has also been a decline in HIV infections and
malaria deaths worldwide and enrolment figures in primary education are encouraging.
However, much work remains to be done:
Over 1 billion people still have insufficient access to food
Maternal and child mortality is still unacceptably high in parts of the developing
world
2.6 million people still have no access to improved sanitation
The EU is committed to speeding up progress towards the MDGs and is responding to this
need with its €1 billion MDG initiative, launched in 2010. This will give additional support
to African, Caribbean and Pacific countries that have performed well in implementing aid,
and will provide new targeted aid where the need is greatest: in fighting hunger, giving
access to clean drinking water and sanitation, achieving better maternal health and
reducing child mortality.

At the same time, political and economic shifts in the world require new strategic
thinking and policy in development cooperation. The Arab Spring has brought dramatic
transformations to an entire region and reminded the world that there can be no
sustainable development without human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
In the European Union the economic and financial crisis continues to present a serious
challenge to citizens and governments, and future development policy needs to reflect
these changing circumstances. In addition to these political and economic shifts, the
context of development cooperation is changing. New actors are become increasingly
involved in development cooperation, including the private sector; large emerging
countries are becoming active as donors and some of them are establishing their own
cooperation agencies.
In response to this changing global development context, the European Commission has
presented on 13 October 2011 the 'Agenda for Change' of EU development policy and a
new approach to EU budget support3. Future EU spending should concentrate on sectors
which are key for long-term and inclusive growth and target countries that are most in
need of external support and where aid can make the most difference.
Furthermore, the EU will explore innovative ways of financing development, such as the
blending of grants and loans. The Commission will also encourage the EU and its Member
States to jointly prepare strategies and programmes (so-called "joint programming") and
to better divide labour amongst themselves in order to increase aid effectiveness.
The European Commission has also proposed improvements in the EU approach to
budget support4. It intends to make budget support more effective and efficient in
delivering development results by strengthening the contractual partnerships with
developing countries. Budget support should contribute to the fight against corruption
and fraud, and help countries to build their own financial resources, in order to reduce
dependence on aid in the long run. Respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of
law will play a greater role in partnerships with developing countries.
3 See European Commission press release IP/11/1184 of 13 October 2011. The text of the Communication "An Agenda for change" is available at: http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/what/development-policies/documents/agenda_for_change_en.pdf 4 Budget support involves funding that goes directly to government budgets in developing countries, coupled with an intense policy dialogue between the EU and the recipient countries. It includes performance assessment of the partner country's policies and capacity-building measures and is based on the principle that the EU and the recipient country work as partners and are mutually accountable.

November 2011 sees the Fourth High Level Conference on aid effectiveness in Busan,
South Korea5, taking place; a key event in the international development calendar to
start to address current and future development needs within the changing global
context. The conference will bring together partner country governments, donors, the
private sector and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to discuss progress in global
development commitments after the High Level Conferences on aid effectiveness held in
Paris6 (March 2005) and Accra7 (September 2008), and, importantly, to discuss future
required action.
In this context, and particularly in view of the forthcoming summit in Busan the European
Commission’s Directorate-General Development and Cooperation - EuropeAid
commissioned this survey to measure the attitudes of the European public towards
development policy. This Eurobarometer was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social
between 3 September and 18 September 2011.
Some 26,856 Europeans aged 15 or over were interviewed face-to-face by the
interviewers of the TNS Opinion & Social network (the interviewers asked the questions
in the respondents' home). The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer
of the Directorate-General Communication of the European Commission (“Research and
Speechwriting” Unit). A technical note concerning the interviews conducted by the
institutes of the TNS Opinion & Social network is annexed to this report. It specifies the
method used for these interviews as well as the confidence intervals8.
The general analysis and the socio-demographic analyses are based on the average
results in the 27 Member States. This average is weighted so that it reflects the actual
population of each Member State.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A majority of Europeans (85%) believe that development aid is important, with 36% saying it is “very important” and 49% saying it is “fairly important”. However, the strength of this support for development aid has declined in the last year. The number of those who say that it is very important has dropped by 9 points from 45% in 2010.
Most respondents (70%) think of sub-Saharan Africa as the part of the world
most in need of development aid to fight poverty. Other parts of the world considered important are the Middle East and North Africa (33%) and the Indian sub-continent (25%).
Key policy areas where EU actions have the biggest impact on developing
countries are considered to be trade and finance (18%), peace building (16%) and migration (16%)
Most Europeans continue to support EU development policy spending, with 62%
stating that the promise to increase aid to developing countries should be kept or increased further. This support has slightly declined by 2 points since June 2010 (64%). However, 32% of Europeans would break the promise to increase aid or even reduce the level of development aid (+3 points compared with June 2010).
A large majority of Europeans (84%) believe that the EU should require
developing countries to follow certain rules regarding democracy, human rights and governance as a condition for receiving EU development aid.
There is also a very clear majority of 80% in favour of linking EU development
aid to other European objectives in addition to fighting poverty; these policies could include, for example, management of migration flows, access to energy and raw materials and trade opportunities.
When asked how to increase the impact of EU development aid through better
cooperation, the majority suggested that the EU should work more closely with developing countries (42%) or developed countries outside the EU (36%). European public opinion was more divided on how to improve effectiveness: “adopt common policies at EU level” and “being more transparent in publishing activities and results” gained most support, but other items were also mentioned by substantial proportions.
Approximately half of all Europeans are personally committed to supporting the
needs of developing countries, 47% saying they would be willing to pay more for groceries or other products from developing countries. Conversely, 47% say they would not be willing to pay any more to support developing countries.

1. GENERAL PERCEPTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT POLICY
1.1 Perceived importance of development aid
- Development aid is important for a large majority of respondents, although
the strength of this support has declined -
General perceptions of the importance of development aid are very positive, with 85% of
respondents agreeing that helping people in developing countries is either important
(36%) or fairly important (49%)9.
However, there are indications that support for development aid has begun to decline
since the previous surveys: in particular, the number of respondents who say that help is
“very important” has dropped from 45% in June 2010 to 36% in just over a year,
following an increase of 6 points between May-June 200910 (39%) and June 2010 (45%).
In December 2004, when Europeans from the EU25 were asked a slightly different
question11, an absolute majority of respondents answered that help is “very important”
(53%). In this latest survey a greater proportion now believes that aid is “fairly
important” (49%) compared to the previous survey (44%).

Differences between Member States
- Overall, the importance of helping people in developing countries is widely
recognised across the Member States -
When “very important” and “fairly important” responses are added together, a high
degree of support for development policy as a priority is evident across the 27 Member
States.
In Sweden, Cyprus, Poland, Luxembourg, Germany, and Finland, more than 90% of
respondents say that helping people in developing countries is important. Even in those
Member States where results are lowest, the proportion of ‘total important’ reaches 70%
or more: in Hungary (75%), Bulgaria (75%), Estonia (74%) and Slovenia (71%) a clear
majority say that helping people in developing countries is important.

The bar chart above illustrates that highest levels of support for helping developing
countries (answer “very important") are recorded in Cyprus (74%), Sweden (69%),
Luxembourg (59%) and Germany (53%).
There is some variation in the degree of importance attached to helping people in
developing countries. Support for development aid appears to be lower in a number of
Member States where the majority believes that helping developing countries is “fairly
important”; for example, Portugal (62%), Poland (60%), Italy (59%), Czech Republic
(59%). In a number of Eastern European Member States a significant minority of
respondents also say that helping developing countries is “not important”; in particular
Slovenia (28%), Estonia (24%) and Hungary (23%).
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
11
Socio-demographic analysis
- Education and political beliefs play a role in shaping responses -
Education appears to influence how respondents regard the importance of helping people
in developing countries; 44% of respondents who continued studying after the age of 19
say that development aid is “very important”, compared to 32% who left education
between the age of 16-19. Those respondents who are still studying are the most likely
to say that helping people in developing countries is “very important”, at 45%; this
suggests that education can promote more enthusiasm around this topic.
How respondents define their position on a left-right scale also gives some indication of
how they are likely to answer this question. 45% of respondents who described their
political views as on the left said that it was “very important” to help people in
developing countries, compared to 34% of respondents in the centre and 31% on the
right. Respondents with centre or right political views were more likely to describe
helping people in developing countries as “fairly important”.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
12
Other socio-demographic factors also appear to influence how much importance
respondents place on helping people in developing countries, but less strongly. The
ability of the respondent to pay bills illustrates how priorities change when there is less
disposable income available: 39% of those who almost never have financial difficulties
think that development aid is “very important”, compared with 30% of those who have
these difficulties most of the time. Nevertheless, overall 79% of this group still say that
helping people in developing countries is important.
The age of respondents also seems to have some impact on their response: in particular,
41% of respondents between 15 and 24 years-old say that helping people in developing
countries is “very important”, compared to 36% among 25 to 39-year-olds and 35% of
respondents aged 40 and over.
There was also strong support for the principle of development aid among respondents
who think that EU development aid should come with certain conditions12 attached. Close
to nine in ten respondents of this group say it is important to help people in developing
countries (88%). In comparison, 76% of those who are not in favour of conditional aid
answered that helping people in developing countries is important.

1.2 Target regions for European development aid
- Sub-Saharan Africa is most often thought to be
in greatest need of development aid -
Respondents were asked to make a maximum of 3 choices from a list of geographical
areas that might be thought to be most in need of development aid to help fight
poverty13.
Sub-Saharan Africa was chosen by 70% of respondents, significantly ahead of the other
options, and is thought to be the part of the world most in need of development aid to
help fight poverty.
Other areas were selected far less often, lagging some way behind sub-Saharan Africa:
the Middle-East and North Africa are in second place, with 33% of mentions, followed by
the Indian sub-continent, with a quarter of European respondents citing this area.
Other parts of the world were even less frequently mentioned: the Caribbean (17%),
South East Asia (16%), non-EU areas of Eastern Europe (15%), Latin America (15%),
and the Pacific and Oceania (6%).
13 QD2. Which of the following parts of the world do you think are most in need of development aid to help them fighting poverty? (A maximum of 3 answers could be chosen)
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
14
Differences between Member States
- There are some major differences between Member States in their
identification of the areas most in need of development aid -
Respondents from 12 Member States express a strong preference (above the EU average
of 70%) for sub-Saharan Africa as the area most in need of development aid. These
include many northern Member States, such as Denmark (88%), Germany (85%),
Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg (82%), and the Netherlands (80%) but also Slovenia
(79%), Cyprus and Sweden (78%), France, Ireland and Greece (72%).
Member States less likely to mention this region include new Member States14 in Eastern
Europe; for example in Bulgaria and Romania 48% and 43% of respondents respectively
cite sub-Saharan Africa as the area in most need. Despite these significant
differences between countries, sub-Saharan Africa is the first answer given in
every EU Member State.
14 The new Member States, known as the NMS12, are the 12 Member States which joined the European Union during the 2004 and 2007 enlargements. These are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
15
The Middle East and North Africa is placed some distance behind sub-Saharan Africa
in terms of perceived need for development aid. This region was mentioned most in the
Czech Republic, where 49% respondents selected this area, followed by Finland (48%),
Cyprus (47%) and Greece (47%). In most Member States, except France, Sweden,
Hungary and the Netherlands, respondents put the Middle East and North Africa second
after sub-Saharan Africa. Countries where respondents are least likely to mention this
area include the most recent Member States from Eastern Europe.
The Indian sub-continent is cited most often in Sweden (by 43%). In Sweden, France
and the Netherlands the Indian sub-continent came in second place, ahead of the Middle
East and North Africa and after sub-Saharan Africa.
The Caribbean is cited most often in France (28%), Sweden (24%) and Belgium (24%).
South East Asia is cited most in Cyprus (33%), Finland (27%) and Luxembourg (24%).
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
16
Eastern Europe outside the EU is cited most in Austria (27%), Sweden (26%) and
Denmark (23%).
Latin America is cited most in Germany (27%) and Austria (20%).
Finally, the Pacific and Oceania, which is cited least often across the EU by just 6% of
European respondents, is mentioned most in Hungary, Bulgaria and Slovakia (12% in
these three countries).
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
17
Socio-demographic analysis Socio-demographic factors do not appear to have much influence on how respondents
prioritise different parts of the world in need of development aid. There are indications
that respondents who studied beyond the age of 19 are more likely to select sub-Saharan
Africa than those who left education at 15 or younger, though both groups select sub-
Saharan Africa as a key destination for development aid. Furthermore, respondents who
studied past the age of 19 are slightly more likely to mention the Indian sub-continent
than those whose education finished earlier.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
18
1.3 Other important policy areas which affect developing countries - Trade and finance, peace-building and migration are all considered to be areas
where the EU has an impact on developing countries -
When other EU policy areas are considered in addition to development aid policy, no
single area clearly stands out15. Rather, several policy areas are mentioned, which might
be interpreted as a sign that EU citizens recognise that developing countries are affected
by a broad range of EU actions.
18% of respondents believe trade and finance is the policy area in which EU action has
the biggest impact on developing countries. Other key EU policy areas that impact on
developing countries are thought to be peace-building (16%), migration (16%) and
agriculture (14%). Climate change (9%), the environment (6%), energy (6%) and
transport (1%) are less regularly mentioned. At 11%, the “don’t know” rate is relatively
high.
15 QD4. In addition to development aid, in which policy area do you think EU actions have the biggest impact on developing countries?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
19
Differences between Member States
- There is a big variation in the perceived impact of different EU policy areas
on developing countries -
An analysis of the most frequently-mentioned EU policy areas shows that perceptions of
their importance and impact differ widely from one country to another. These differences
range from 31% of respondents in the Netherlands mentioning trade and finance to
just 13% of respondents in Spain. Respondents in 13 Member States identify trade and
finance as having the biggest impact on developing countries apart from development
aid: Belgium (21%), the Czech Republic (28%), Denmark (26%), Estonia (23%), Ireland
(24%), Hungary (26%), the Netherlands (31%) Austria (18%), Poland (18%) Slovenia
(26%), Slovakia (20%), Sweden (27%) and the UK (20%).
Responses appear to follow a geographical pattern, as trade and finance is more often
cited as the policy that has most impact in northern European countries, whereas
migration is more often mentioned in Mediterranean Member States.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
20
Results for migration policy also vary widely, ranging from 28% in Italy to just 5% of
respondents in Sweden. Interestingly, respondents from Mediterranean Member States in
which issues of migration are regularly in the public debate, tend to believe that this
policy area has the biggest impact; these Member States include Italy, Malta (26%),
Cyprus (24%), Greece 23% and Spain (21%). In addition to these five Mediterranean
countries, respondents in Latvia (21%) and Lithuania (20%) also say that migration has
the biggest impact on developing countries.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
21
The impact of peace-building on developing countries also sees widely differing
percentages. In particular, 35% of respondents in Finland say that peace-building has a
significant impact on developing countries. Respondents also highlight peace-building in a
wide variety of other Member States, especially in Portugal 26%, Estonia 23%,
Luxembourg 21%, Sweden 21%, and Malta 21%. Respondents in many other Member
States attribute only minor importance to the impact of peace-building on developing
countries: Ireland 11%, Austria 11%, Latvia 11% and Romania at just 9%.
Agriculture is less frequently mentioned as a policy area having an impact on
developing countries than trade and finance, migration and peace-building. The Member
States where agriculture is considered to have the greatest impact are often those where
internal EU agricultural policy has a particular impact; agriculture is prioritised in four
Member States: Denmark (24%), Romania (20%), Germany (18%), and France (17%).
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
22
Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors appear to play little role in how respondents
prioritise different policy areas -
For the most part, the socio-demographic factors that usually have some influence on
respondents appear to have little effect on perceptions of the impact of different policy
areas on developing countries. There is some indication that trade and finance are more
likely to be mentioned by managers (23%), respondents who studied beyond the age of
19 (21%) and students (21%) than by house-persons or retired people (both 14%), or
those who left school at the age of 15 or earlier (13%). Otherwise socio-demographic
variables have only a marginal influence here.

2. EUROPEANS' VIEWS ON THE FUTURE OF EU DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
2.1 Attitudes to aid commitments in the light of recent economic developments
- Support remains high for the current EU promise to increase the level of aid to
developing countries -
The EU promised to increase its assistance to 0.7% of its gross national income by 2015
as part of its commitment to reducing poverty16. Asked what they think about this
increase in the light of the financial and economic crisis17, Europeans give answers which
have remained relatively stable since June 2010, with 50% stating that “we should keep
our promise to increase aid to developing countries” (unchanged since June 2010). In
addition, there has been a decline of two points in the group which believes that “we
should increase aid to developing countries beyond what is already promised”, from 14%
to 12% in 2011; a very positive re-statement of support for development aid policy given
the current economic situation.
16 http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/what/development-policies/european-consensus/index_en.htm 17 QD3 The EU (the European Commission and Member States) has promised to increase the level of its aid towards developing countries. Given the current economic situation, which of the following propositions best describes your opinion?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
24
There is a modest rise in the proportion of those who would break the promise to
increase aid to developing countries, or who would even reduce aid. In June 2010, 14%
of respondents believed that “we should reduce aid to developing countries” and this has
increased by four points to 18%. However, this is partly offset by a slight reduction to
14% in the proportion of those who now state that “we should not increase development
aid” compared to 15% in June 2010. Overall, the combined result for those would not
increase aid and those who would reduce aid has risen from 29% in 2010 to 32% of
respondents.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
25
Differences between Member States
- The current economic decline has affected support for aid in some Member
States more than others -
For the most part, respondents believe that aid promises should be upheld. The Member
States where most respondents would opt “to keep our promise to increase aid to
developing countries” are Luxembourg (67%), Sweden (67%), Finland (65%), and
Denmark (60%), compared with 50% across the EU. There is less support among
respondents in Bulgaria (30%) and Romania (35%). Even in the current difficult
economic situation respondents from several Member States say that development aid
levels should be increased “beyond what is already promised”; respondents in Austria
(25%) and Italy (17%) are most positive, compared with 12% across the EU, while there
is more reluctance in Bulgaria, where only 3% wish to increase aid levels beyond the
current commitments.
There is a greater preference for freezing or reducing aid in only a few Member States.
However, this is the majority view in Cyprus (50%) and Bulgaria (55%), and the opinion
of a sizeable minority of respondents in Lithuania (44%), Ireland (45%), and Hungary
(47%).
Member States where most respondents would prefer to “reduce aid to developing
countries as we can no longer afford it” include Bulgaria (30%), Lithuania (28%) and
Cyprus (28%); while the Swedish public opinion is the least inclined to reduce levels of
aid, with only 8% of respondents supporting a reduction. Respondents are most likely to
opt for breaking the promise to increase aid in Bulgaria (25%), Ireland (23%) and
Hungary (23%). Conversely, respondents in France are least likely to support freezing
aid levels, with only 7% in favour.

27
Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors appear to play little part in how respondents view
commitments to development aid -
The majority of respondents appear to share the belief that the promised aid levels
should be maintained or increased where possible. There is some indication that younger
respondents are a little more ambitious, as a marginally higher proportion advocate
increasing development aid levels: 15% of 15-24 year olds would increase aid above the
promised levels compared with 12% overall.
There are also signs that older respondents are a little more cautious, with only 9% of
55+ year olds advocating increasing aid above promised levels. These older respondents
were also marginally more inclined to reduce aid levels than other age groups, with 20%
advocating a reduction compared to the overall level of 18%. Respondents who
completed their education at 15 or younger were also more likely to advocate a reduction
in development aid, at 24%. 54% of the respondents who state that “helping developing
countries is not important” also say that development aid should be reduced. Conversely,
56% of the respondents who state that “helping developing countries is important” would
also “keep our promise to increase aid to developing countries”.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
28
2.2 Democracy-related conditions for receiving development aid
- Most respondents believe that developing countries should meet
certain conditions in order to receive EU development aid -
After considering the importance of development aid and attitudes towards EU
development aid commitments, Europeans were asked whether development aid should
be offered with conditions attached in a specific area. A large majority of 84% believe
that the EU should require developing countries to follow certain rules regarding
democracy, human rights and governance as a condition for receiving EU development
aid18. For 48% of respondents there is a clear and decisive need for such development
aid conditions (answer “yes, definitely”), while 36% are more moderate (answer “yes, to
some extent”). Conversely, just 10% of Europeans are not in favour of this type of
conditionality (3%, “no, absolutely not”, and 7% “no, not really”).
18 QD5. Do you think that the EU should require developing countries to follow certain rules regarding democracy, human rights and governance as a condition for receiving EU development aid?

Differences between Member States
- There is substantial consistency in views across the Member States -
In general, respondents from across the Member States agree on the need for certain
rules as a condition of receiving EU development aid: in all countries, more than seven in
ten respondents are in favour of conditionality. There are some differences between
Member States as to the degree of support for imposing conditions; around half of
respondents in Austria, Portugal and Italy support the imposition of conditions “to a
certain extent” (55%, 50%, 48%, respectively). By contrast 90% of respondents in
Cyprus and two thirds in Luxembourg (67%) and Lithuania (65%) are ‘definitely’ in
favour of attaching conditions to EU aid. Opposition to conditionality is marginal in all
countries, with the highest levels recorded in Denmark (15% for the total ‘no’) and
Belgium (13%).

Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors do not appear to influence opinions on whether
certain conditions should be attached to aid to developing countries -
Opinions on this issue are reasonably consistent across age ranges, education levels and
income levels: in all categories, a large majority of respondents think that the EU should
require developing countries to follow certain rules as a condition for receiving EU
development aid.

2.3 Linking development aid to other policies
- A majority of respondents would like development aid to be linked to other
policies -
After asking respondents their views on imposing conditions on aid (i.e. conditions of
better governance, democracy and human rights objectives), we also asked their views
on whether aid should be linked to other policies (e.g. to other European objectives
affecting that region or country such as the management of migration flows, access to
energy etc.).
Linking EU development aid to other European objectives in addition to fighting poverty
is met with some enthusiasm: 80% of respondents would like development aid to be
linked to other policies19. While many approve of the idea in principle, the “yes,
definitely” score for linking other policies to development aid (35%) is lower than the
“yes, definitely” score for placing conditions on development aid (45%).
19 QD9. In addition to fighting poverty, do you think EU development aid should also be linked to other European objectives such as the management of migration flows, access to energy and raw materials or trade opportunities for the EU?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
32
Differences between Member States
- Overall levels of support for linking development aid to other policies are
reasonably consistent across Member States -
Combined levels of “yes definitely” and “yes, to some extent” responses are reasonably
consistent across the Member States. Most states record a score of around 80% for
linking aid to other European policies. There are a few exceptions, and respondents in
Cyprus were especially enthusiastic, with 85% approving ‘definitely’ and 12% approving
‘to some extent’. They were also by far the most likely to firmly approve the principle of
conditionality. The “yes definitely” level exceeds 50% in just one other Member State,
Slovenia (53%).
In comparison, a quarter or less of respondents gave the same answer in Denmark
(25%) and Poland (21%). Respondents in Romania were a little more sceptical than
respondents from other Member States, although they still recorded a combined approval
level of 68%. However, there were some marked differences between Member States in
the number of “don’t know” responses recorded, with high levels in Romania (24%), and
Malta (19%), and this may be an indication that linking to other EU policies is difficult for
some respondents to understand or appreciate.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
34
Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors do not appear to influence opinions on whether EU
development aid should be linked to other European policies -
While 80% of Europeans overall stated that EU development should be linked to other
European objectives, respondents who left education before the age of 16 are a little less
in favour of this option, with 75% stating ‘Yes’, compared to 83% of those who left
school after the age of 19. In other respects socio-demographic factors do not appear
strongly linked to opinions of whether EU development aid should be linked to other
objectives.
There is a strong correlation between preferences for linking to other policies and
conditionality; 85% of the respondents who state that there should be a link between EU
development aid and other policies are also in favour of setting conditions to
development aid, compared with 58% of those opposed to conditionality. Interestingly,
only 66% of the respondents who do not think development aid is important say that
policies should be linked, compared with the European average of 80%; it might have
been anticipated that this group would have been more in favour of linking policies.

3. INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EU DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
3.1 The actors with whom cooperation should be strengthened
- A majority of respondents believe cooperation should be strengthened
between governments in preference to other types of organisations -
This section addresses the question of how to increase the impact of development aid
through better cooperation. Respondents were asked to choose up to two organisations,
donors or countries with whom cooperation should be strengthened to increase the
impact of EU development aid20. For the most part direct cooperation with governments
of developing countries (42%) is preferred to cooperation with other types of
organisations. Cooperation with other developed countries outside the EU, such as the
United States and Australia, was also supported by 36% of respondents. In third
position, emerging economies attracted a 21% share.
Non-governmental organisations were mentioned by 15% of Europeans as appropriate
partners for increasing the impact of EU development aid; cooperation with civil society
organisations (15%), companies (11%) and private foundations (9%) each only attracted
modest support.
20 QD6. With whom should the EU strengthen its cooperation to increase the impact of its development aid?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
36
Differences between Member States
- Respondents in some Member States would prefer to strengthen cooperation
with developing countries; others would rather work more closely with other
developed countries -
In general, respondents from some of the more economically-prosperous Member States
believe that the EU should strengthen its cooperation with developing countries
themselves; Sweden (67%), Germany (60%) and Denmark (59%) all show a strong
preference for building cooperation with developing countries. Overall, this is the first
answer given in 13 countries; often affluent Member States in the north of the EU.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
37
Interestingly, respondents from many new Member States and countries in southern
Europe are more likely to prefer the EU to strengthen its cooperation with other
developed countries outside the EU, such as the United States and Australia to
increase the impact of development aid. In particular, Cyprus (72%), Slovakia (54%),
Lithuania (53%) and Greece (52%) would prefer to strengthen cooperation with other
developed countries. This item is the most mentioned in 14 countries.
The other items are less mentioned, and none of these alternatives are among the most
frequent choices in any country.
Emerging economies such as China and Brazil have some appeal as countries with
whom the EU should strengthen cooperation in Cyprus (46%), Bulgaria (39%), Hungary
(34%) and Greece (33%)
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
38
Civil society organisations such as NGOs attract considerable support in Luxembourg
(36%) and Sweden (30%). Other alternative organisations such as companies and
private foundations are generally less seen as important partners by Europeans.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
39
Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors have only marginal influence on opinions as to the
actors with whom the EU should strengthen its cooperation -
For the most part, responses are consistent across categories, and education, occupation
and other socio-demographic factors generally do not influence opinions about who the
EU should strengthen its cooperation with. There is some indication that managers (49%)
and respondents who studied beyond the age of 20 (47%) are more likely to believe that
EU cooperation should be strengthened with developing countries themselves, compared
to an EU average of 42%. Respondents who ‘almost never’ have difficulty in paying their
bills are also more likely to believe that cooperation should be strengthened with
developing countries, while the gap between those with financial problems ‘from time to
time’ and ‘most of the time’ is smaller. In addition, respondents who have difficulties
paying their bills ‘from time to time’ are more likely to support greater cooperation with
other developed countries (39%) than with developing countries (38%), as are those
who answered that helping developing countries is “not important” (30% “other
developed countries”, vs. 24% “developing countries”).

3.2 How to improve aid effectiveness
- Although all the solutions proposed to improve EU development aid
effectiveness are mentioned by substantial proportions of respondents,
adopting common policies is their first choice -
When Europeans are asked how the EU could best improve its development aid
effectiveness21 there appears to be no clear consensus on the list of options.
Respondents were allowed a maximum of two answers, and all the choices available
appear to have some merit and received some support.
“Adopting common policies at EU level” was supported by 35% of respondents, followed
by “being more transparent in publishing activities and results” at 31%. Other popular
initiatives included “avoiding duplication of efforts through better coordination” (25%)
and “giving direct financial support to the governments of developing countries based on
the respect of certain conditions by these countries” (24%). “Strengthening bilateral
cooperation between EU Member States” was a less popular choice, though still
mentioned by close to a fifth of Europeans (19%).
21 QD7. In your opinion, how could the EU best improve its effectiveness in terms of development aid?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
42
Differences between Member States
- A reasonable degree of consistency between Member States -
In every Member State, the options for improving the EU’s aid effectiveness all receive
some degree of support. No one option is preferred to the others.
“Adopting common policies at EU level” is selected as the first option in 14 Member
States, led by Greece (44%) and Germany (43%). This approach is least popular in the
UK (21%) and Sweden (23%).
Respondents in 11 Member States chose “being more transparent in publishing
activities and results” first, most often in Finland (44%), the Netherlands (43%),
France (41%) and Denmark (41%). This option is least popular in Poland (10%).
Respondents in Sweden and Finland express a stronger preference for “avoiding
duplication of efforts through better coordination” than other Member States, with
57% and 48% choosing this option respectively, compared to the EU average of 25%.
More than four in ten respondents in Cyprus also cite this item first (43%). Conversely,
this option is chosen least in Malta (14%), Romania (12%), and Portugal (11%). Overall,
respondents in four Member States think this is the best way for the EU to improve the
effectiveness of its development aid. “Giving direct financial support to the
governments of developing countries based on the respect of certain conditions
by these countries” is most often chosen in Cyprus (38%), Slovakia (36%), Sweden
(36%), the Czech Republic (34%) - where respondents put this approach first - and
Luxembourg (33%). This option is least cited in Portugal (12%) and Lithuania (16%).

44
Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors do not appear to influence opinions on how the EU
could best improve its aid effectiveness -
For the most part opinion is fairly consistent across education levels, occupation and
social class. These socio-demographic factors are not strongly linked to opinions on how
the EU could best improve its aid effectiveness. However, socio-demographic data does
appear to have some influence on “avoiding duplication of efforts through better
coordination between EU Member States”: those educated beyond the age of 19 are
more likely to choose this method of improving effectiveness (30% compared to the
average of 25%); as are respondents who describe themselves as ‘high’ on the social
scale (29%).
Furthermore, respondents who say that helping developing countries is “not important”
are slightly more likely to prefer measures which improve effectiveness by “being more
transparent in publishing activities and results”; 33% of these respondents
preferred transparency, while 24% of the same group opted for “adopting common
policies at EU level”. Among Europeans who say that development aid is not important,
it appears that there is a degree of scepticism concerning transparency and the way
European money is spent.

4. INFORMATION SOURCES AND PERSONAL COMMITMENT
4.1 Preferred sources for gaining information on issues related to development policy and the global fight against poverty
- TV is relied on for information more than any other source -
Respondents were asked which sources they would use if looking for information on
issues related to development policy and the fight against poverty22. This information can
be important when communicating on these topics.
Overall TV is the preferred medium, with more than three-quarters of Europeans saying
they would look to it if they were searching for information on issues related to
development policy and the global fight against poverty (Total TV, 77%). Within TV, the
most relevant source is TV news (for 66% of respondents). Other popular TV information
sources are documentaries (33%) followed by other shows (10%).
The press is mentioned less than TV, with close to half of Europeans mentioning different
publications (Total press, 47%). Within the press, the most relevant publications are the
daily news press, mentioned by over a third of Europeans, ahead of weekly or monthly
news press, which were only mentioned by 10%.
The Internet is now seen as nearly as important as the press as a medium Europeans
would use if they were looking for information on issues related to development policy
and the global fight against poverty, with more than four in ten Europeans viewing
websites of various kinds (Total Internet, 45%). News websites are the most popular, at
31%,, followed by a surprisingly high proportion of 18% viewing specialised development
websites. Interestingly, specialist blogs on development (6%) and social networking sites
(6%) are not regarded as very relevant sources for information on development.
Close to a fifth of Europeans (19%) mentioned radio among the media they would use if
they were looking for information on issues related to development policy and the global
fight against poverty.

Differences between Member States
- Information sources vary across Member States -
77% of Europeans mention television, and in almost all countries TV is the most
popular information source for issues relating to development. In Austria, Portugal and
Germany 90% of respondents or more receive their information on development policy
through television programmes. The greatest reliance on television is found in Portugal
(91%), where relatively few respondents cite the press (20%) or the Internet (17%).
Sweden is an exception: here Internet websites are marginally preferred to TV, with 76%
citing the Internet compared to 75% mentioning TV.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
49
The press is mentioned by 47% of respondents, with the highest proportions describing
this as a source of information on development policy in Austria (75%), Finland (70%),
the Netherlands (69%) and Sweden (68%). Interestingly, in a few Member States a
range of media sources were mentioned frequently, not just the press: in particular, 69%
of respondents from the Netherlands cited press publications and 75% the Internet; in
Finland 70% mentioned the press and 65% the Internet, and in Sweden 68% the press
and 76% the Internet. However, in other Member States respondents often prefer one
information source over another: in Austria 75% mentioned press publications and just
34% the Internet; similarly in Germany 67% cited press publications and 37% the
Internet.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
50
The Internet was mentioned by 45% of respondents across the whole European Union,
with respondents in Denmark (77%), Sweden (76%), the Netherlands (75%) and Finland
(65%) most likely to use Internet websites to find information on development issues. As
previously noted, these respondents often mention a range of information sources and
respondents in these Member States can perhaps be characterised as more active
consumers of information. The Internet is now a more widely-cited information source
than the press in a number of countries including Latvia, Malta, Denmark, the UK, Poland
and Slovenia. However, in nine Member States less than 40% of respondents say they
would use the Internet, with the lowest score in Portugal, at only 17%.
The radio was most often mentioned in Estonia (37%), Austria (31%) and Germany
(30%), and least often in Portugal (4%), and Italy (6%).

Socio-demographic analysis
- Socio-demographic factors heavily influence
the choice of information sources -
There are substantial differences in the information sources chosen, reflecting socio-
demographic factors. In general, the different information sources are cited by
comparable proportions of men and women, except Internet sources, mentioned by more
men (49%) than women (41%). The Internet is less likely to be mentioned by
respondents aged 55 and over (only 22% compared to the EU average of 45%);
however, among 15-24-year-olds the Internet accounts for 68% of the information
sources mentioned, just after TV (69%). These younger respondents are less likely to
mention press sources (37%, compared with 47% at EU level), and they are also less
likely to mention TV (69% compared with 77% at EU level). Education also plays a role,
as 74% of respondents who are currently studying mention the Internet as an
information source, whereas this is only the case for 25% of those who left school at the
age of 15 or earlier.

4.2 Level of personal commitment to supporting development
- Close to half of respondents would pay more for products from developing
countries to support the people living in those countries -
Respondents were asked if they would be prepared to pay more for groceries or other
products from developing countries to support people living in those countries23. Close to
half of those who expressed an opinion said they would be willing to spend up to 5%
extra (33%) or 6-10% extra (10%) or over 10% extra (4%). Conversely, the same
proportion said that they would not be ready to pay more (47%).
23 QD10. Would you be prepared to pay more for groceries or other products from developing countries to support people living in these countries (for instance for fair-trade products)?
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
53
Differences between Member States
- The readiness to pay more for groceries and other products to help people
living in developing countries varies substantially from one country to another -
The Member States in which respondents are most willing to pay more for groceries or
products from developing countries are the Netherlands (80%), Sweden (76%),
Luxembourg 74%, Finland 69%, Denmark 66% and Germany 63%. Standard of living
appears to play an important role in this respect, as these are among the more affluent
countries in the EU. However, in 16 Member States more than 50% of respondents would
not pay more for groceries or products from developing countries. Unsurprisingly, these
are countries which have been hit hard by the financial and economic crisis, most
strikingly Portugal (“No, you are not ready to pay”: 73%), Hungary and Bulgaria (71%),
and Latvia (70%).
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
54
Socio-demographic analysis
- Several socio-demographic factors influence willingness to pay more for
groceries or other products from developing countries -
Socio-demographic factors that reflect levels of disposable income do appear to influence
how prepared respondents are likely to be to pay more for groceries and other products
from developing countries. In total 68% of managers would pay more for products,
compared with just 35% of house-person and 36% of the unemployed. Perhaps
surprisingly, 60% of students also state that they would be prepared to pay more. This is
also the case for 61% of respondents who left school at the age of 20 or later, compared
with just 32% of those who left the school before 16. This is understandable, as
educational levels are often closely related to standard of living. Two-thirds of
respondents who regularly have difficulty paying bills say they would not pay more
(66%), compared to the EU average of 47%. Respondents who think that “helping
developing countries is important” are generally more willing to pay more, with 52%
stating ‘Yes’ compared to the average of 47%. Those who think that “helping developing
countries is not important” are the most likely to say that they would not be ready to pay
more (76%).
Europeans who are opposed to attaching conditions to development aid are also
sometimes more “willing to pay more for groceries and other products” with 15%
prepared to pay 6%-10% more compared to the average of 10%. However, on the
whole, respondents opposed to conditions are less generous, with 50% unwilling to pay
more compared to the average of 47%.

CONCLUSION
The objective of this survey was to explore perceptions of EU development aid and to
gauge levels of personal commitment and interest among the European public.
Respondents in the 27 EU Member States were asked a series of different questions in
order to reveal their general perceptions of development aid, their views on how EU
development policies should be shaped, their opinions on how to improve the
effectiveness of development aid cooperation and, importantly, their personal
commitment to helping people in developing countries.
The results show that a large majority of Europeans believe that development aid is
important (85%). However, while support for development aid appears strong there has
been a noticeable decline since June 2010 when the question was last asked. In 2010,
45% said they believed development aid was “very important” while in 2011 this figure
dropped to 36%, a fall of 9 points. Based on these figures it appears that Europeans are
re-examining their priorities on this issue in a less certain economic climate.
The survey sought to identify some general perceptions about development aid, including
which parts of the world respondents believed were most in need of development aid. A
clear majority (70%) think that sub-Saharan Africa is the priority in the fight against
poverty. By comparison, other parts of the world are less likely to be considered, with the
next most important regions being the Middle East and North Africa (33%) and the
Indian sub-continent (25%).
When considering EU development aid commitments, a majority of Europeans believe it
is important to keep to current promises to increase aid (62%), and, even in the current
difficult economic climate, 12% would like to increase the level of development aid
beyond what has been promised. While many Europeans thus supported the EU’s
commitments, there was also a large minority of 32% who would prefer to break the
promise to increase aid or even to reduce the level of development aid to developing
countries. This opinion was more widespread in some countries: in Lithuania (44%),
Ireland (45%), Hungary (47%), Cyprus (50%), and Bulgaria (55%), high proportions of
respondents expressed a preference for freezing or reducing aid levels.
With regard to the shaping of future EU development policy, respondents generally
showed a preference for some form of conditionality to be attached to aid: a majority of
84% believed that developing countries should follow certain rules regarding democracy,
human rights and governance as a condition for receiving EU development aid.
SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 EUROPEANS AND THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT AID
57
Similarly, 80% of Europeans are in favour of establishing a link between EU development
aid and other European objectives, for example, management of migration flows, access
to energy and raw materials and trade opportunities.
While there is broad approval for both governance-related conditionality and linking to
other EU objectives, there is, on balance, more support for conditionality (answer “yes,
definitely”). At a time when many Europeans are reassessing the intensity of their
support for development aid, the emphasis on democracy, human rights and rule of law
may prove to be an important element in maintaining support for development aid in
future. This may also be related to the events of the Arab Spring, where movements for
reform and democracy have swept an entire region.
Respondents were then asked how the impact of EU development aid could be increased
by improved cooperation with different partners (countries, organisations, etc.). There
was no clear consensus on how this should be achieved, or with which partners. For
some Europeans, developing countries themselves are the most appropriate partners, for
others, other developed countries from outside the EU are most appropriate. Aid
effectiveness emerges as an area in which Europeans express overall no strong positions
and priorities, maybe due to a lack of background knowledge on the subject.
As a measure of their personal commitment to development aid, respondents were asked
if they would be willing to pay more for groceries and other products from developing
countries. According to this simple test, approximately half (47%) of all Europeans are
willing to pay up to at least 5% more for products from developing countries as a sign of
personal support for those countries. However, an identical proportion also said that they
would be unwilling to pay more. Therefore, while many Europeans support the principle
of development aid, many also currently see it as impossible to make a personal financial
commitment to development and fighting poverty outside the EU.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375
‘Development Aid Effectiveness’ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between the 3rd of September and the 18th of September 2011, TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium created between TNS plc and TNS opinion, carried out the wave 76.1 of the EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Communication, “Research and Speechwriting”. The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 375 is part of wave 76.1 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density.
In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses (every Nth address) were selected by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in people's homes and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available.
For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:
Observed percentages 10% or 90% 20% or 80% 30% or 70% 40% or 60% 50%
Confidence limits ± 1.9 points ± 2.5 points ± 2.7 points ± 3.0 points ± 3.1 points
