Langsikt seminar with David McNair and Nikolai Hegertun: Vendepunkt and the Norwegian Development Reset

What will it take for the restructuring of Norwegian aid to succeed?

‍

Jobs, investments, and stronger national economies are central to the "Vendepunkt" (Turning Point) project. However, several questions must be answered for these ambitions to yield results. How are decent jobs created, how are investments triggered, and how can the financing problems facing many African economies be solved?

‍

"Vendepunkt" is about more than just Norway's priorities. Internationally, aid is declining, and with it, the systems intended to ensure global development. How can Norway contribute to more equitable international financing?

‍

We are joined by David McNair, Managing Director at ONE Data, and Nikolai Hegertun, Policy Director at Norad. The session will begin with an introduction from McNair, followed by commentary from Hegertun, before they engage in a joint discussion. There will also be plenty of time for questions from the audience.

‍

Note: The seminar will be held in English.
