Guiding Principles/Objectives

Programmes

The Law on Belgian International Co-operation, passed in 1999, which gives the orientations of the Belgian Co-operation, does not foresee any sectorial policy in the (sub-) sectors concerned.

Areas of Application:

► Telecommunication infrastructure
► Community and educational radio
► Support of rural community media
► ICT for community development
► Awareness-raising campaign
► Loans and subsidies

Belgium does not have co-operation programmes (government-to-government) in these sub-sectors. A table, available in the “Strategy papers and related documents” section, provides information on expenditures, incurred either before the 1999 Law or for projects implemented by non-governmental organisations subsidised by the DGCD.

State-to-State loans are not subject to the 1999 Law.
