Too often, that what we give with one hand through development cooperation, is taken away with the other hand by unfair policies. Dutch tax policy still allows multinationals to barely pay taxes in developing countries, while tax revenues are crucial for sustainable development. And while we invest in climate-friendly agriculture in developing countries, our own ecological footprint remains three times larger than the earth can handle. We want to put an end to such inconsistencies, by advocating for fair Dutch and EU policies in various ways.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Read more about:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/foundationmaxvanderstoel.nl\/en\/wat-we-doen\/development\/building-change\/\">Our joint lobbying in the 'Building Change' partnership<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e61070 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e61070\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-607e94d\" data-id=\"607e94d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-311ae21 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"311ae21\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c526635\" data-id=\"c526635\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50c9714 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50c9714\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/foundationmaxvanderstoel.nl\/en\/wat-we-doen\/dialogue\/\">Dialogue<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through our public events, we aim to encourage public debate on international issues.
