Amendment 518 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28
(28) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with the Union commitments to implement the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Regulation should contribute to mainstream climate action in the Union policies and to the achievement of an overall target of 250 % of the Union budget expenditures supporting climate objectives. Actions under this Regulation are expected to contribute 250 % of its overall financial envelope to climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identified during the implementation of this Regulation, and the overall contribution from this Regulation should be part of relevant evaluations and review processes.

Amendment 520 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28 a (new)
(28a) Information and communication technologies (ICT) and services are proven enablers of sustainable development and inclusive growth. They can be key to improving citizens' lives even in the poorest countries, in particular by empowering women and girls, enhancing democratic governance and transparency, and boosting productivity and job creation. Nevertheless, connectivity and affordability remain a problem both across and within regions, since there are large variations between high and lower income countries and between cities and rural areas; this regulation should help the EU to further mainstream digitalisation into EU development policies, as already foreseen within the framework of its "Digital4Development"strategy, which needs to be updated for the post 2020 period.

Amendment 559 #
(42) In order to enhance partner countries' ownership of their development processes and the sustainability of external aid, the Union should, where relevant, favour the use of partner countries' own institutions and of partner countries’ systems and procedures for all aspects of the project cycle for cooperation. The EU should also provide training programmes on how to apply for EU funding to local authorities’ civil servants and civil society organisations with the aim of helping them to enhance the eligibility and efficiency of their projects. These programmes should be carried out in the countries concerned, available in the language of the country, to complement any distance learning programmes also established, in order to ensure a targeted training responding to the needs of that country.
