Special Eurobarometer 392: Solidarity that spans the globe: Europeans and development aid

The EU and its Member States continue to be the world's largest donor of development assistance. As the world is evolving, so, too, are the development challenges which the international community faces. This survey measures the attitudes of the European public towards development cooperation. It covers general perceptions of Europeans towards development aid, their views of the future of aid and on which areas and countries it should focus. The survey also analyses how private companies operating in developing countries are perceived and the willingness of individuals to take action to help people in those countries. The European Commission’s Directorate-General Development and Cooperation - EuropeAid commissioned this survey to measure the attitudes of the European public towards development cooperation. The main objectives of this survey were to: Measure the general perceptions of Europeans towards development aid and any changes in opinion since the survey was last run (in September 2011); Analyse Europeans’ views of the future of development aid and which areas and countries aid should focus on; Understand the perception of private companies operating in developing countries; Analyse the willingness of individuals to take action to help those in developing countries; Understand the level of knowledge about how local country and EU development aid is spent. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)欧盟及其成员国仍是全球最大的发展援助（development assistance）捐助方。当前全球格局持续演变，国际社会面临的发展挑战亦随之更迭。本调研旨在量化欧洲公众对发展合作（development cooperation）的态度，涵盖欧洲民众对发展援助的整体认知、对援助未来走向的看法，以及援助应聚焦的领域与目标国家。此外，本调研还分析了公众对在发展中国家开展业务的私营企业的观感，以及个人采取行动援助这些国家民众的意愿。 欧盟委员会发展与合作总司（EuropeAid）委托开展本次调研，以衡量欧洲公众对发展合作的态度。本次调研的核心目标如下： 1. 评估欧洲民众对发展援助的整体认知，以及自上一次调研（于2011年9月开展）以来公众观点的变化； 2. 分析欧洲民众对发展援助未来走向的看法，以及援助应聚焦的领域与目标国家； 3. 了解公众对在发展中国家开展业务的私营企业的观感； 4. 分析个人采取行动援助发展中国家民众的意愿； 5. 掌握公众对本国及欧盟发展援助资金使用方式的认知水平。 ##### 按卷次划分的结果分布如下： * 卷A：国家（Countries） * 卷AA：国家集团（Groups of countries） * 卷A'（AP）：发展趋势（Trends） * 卷AA'（AAP）：国家集团发展趋势（Trends of groups of countries） * 卷B：欧盟/社会人口统计学特征（EU/socio-demographics） * 卷B'（BP）：欧盟/社会人口统计学特征发展趋势（Trends of EU/ socio-demographics） * 卷C：国家/社会人口统计学特征（Country/socio-demographics） 研究人员可联系莱布尼茨社会科学研究所（GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences）：[https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
