Festlighederne indledes i Bella Centret kl. 9 med åbning af en vandreudstilling i anledning af Danidas jubilæum ved HKH Kronprinsessen.

Herefter afholdes en højniveaukonference, “Development Policy in a Changing World”, hvor nye tendenser i udviklingspolitikken vil diskuteres af centrale figurer og politikere inden for udviklingspolitik.

Der vil være to paneldebatter om fremtidige udfordringer i udviklingspolitikken. Den første paneldebat har titlen: Future challenges of inclusive and sustainable development, mens den anden handler om, hvordan vi møder disse nye udfordringer med nye partnerskaber: Building new partnerships for development.

Inspireret af formiddagens diskussioner vil eftermiddagens konference fokusere på, hvilke konsekvenser fremtidige udfordringer og nye partnerskaber har for udformningen af nationale udviklingspolitiske strategier.
