KEY PRINCIPLES

• FOCUS on underlying political culture, the norms
  and values that drive/hamper change processes and
  block growth and development
• ENGAGE in a much more courageous, political and
  consistent way (all along the democracy cycle)
• INVEST in the demand-side for democratic
  change (citizens, domestic institutions, local
  reform agendas, producers of norms)
• ENSURE systematic link between democracy and
  development agenda
• 5. Governance as a MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
  (governance of EU external action)
• 6. Achieving greater impact will require
  changes in institutional culture and behaviour
