(2) The Community and the Member States shall coordinate their policies on development cooperation. The Commission shall seek regular and frequent exchanges of information with the European Parliament and the Member States as well as with other development actors, including the other donors, and shall promote shared analyses, a joint programming process, and harmonised implementation and reporting mechanisms.
Coördinatie houdt in dat tussen de lidstaten onderling, en tussen de lidstaten en de Commissie regelmatig en frequent informatie wordt uitgewisseld over analyses van de situatie in de partnerlanden en -regio's, over samenwerkingsstrategieën, prioritaire sectoren die voor hulp in aanmerking komen, lopende of toekomstige samenwerkingsactiviteiten, en over de evaluaties.
