Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Development cooperation is one of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ principal tasks. The Netherlands contributes four billion euros per year towards the development of poor countries around the world.
In October 2007, Minister for Development Cooperation Bert Koenders presented his new development policy, ‘Our Common Concern: investing in development in a changing world’. The new policy emphasises more Dutch investment in fragile states and in countries which have the most ground to make up in achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
dance4life became a partner organisation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2009. Speaking about dance4life, Paul Bekkers, the Dutch AIDS Ambassador has said,
"The Netherlands supports the internationally agreed goal of calling a halt to the spread of HIV and AIDS in 2015 (MDG6). HIV-prevention and enhancing human rights are two priorities in the Dutch policy and an important group to focus on consists of young people. After all half of the new HIV infections every day occur among young people under 25 years old.
“dance4life is an important partner organisation of the Dutch Government due to the fact that they are able to reach, involve and empower young people all around the world to push back the spread of HIV and AIDS. dance4life inspires young people to change their life, to go out and do something about it, becoming a volunteer, fundraiser or peer educator. Dancing energizes and we need a lot of energy of many people to stop the further spreading of HIV and AIDS."
