Eveline Herfkens Biography

Eveline Herfkens is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 9, 1952 in The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands. Eva Leonie Herfkens was born on the 9th of January 1952 on the 9th of January 1952 in The Hague in the Netherlands.

Herfkens was later elected an elected member in her home country’s House of Commons of the Dutch Parliament from 1981 to 1990. She served as a committee member and treasurer of the Parliamentarians to Global Action from 1985 to

1996. From 1986 to 1989 she was an active participant in the Economic Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and a co- organizer of the north-south campaign.

In 1998, she became the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation, a job she held until 2002. In this capacity, she radically changed Dutch Development Cooperation priorities. One of her lasting accomplishments was the focusing of Dutch assistance to poorer developing countries that have made real commitments to poverty reduction programs and policies. She widened the influence of Dutch assistance policies by helping establish in 1999 the Utstein Group consisting of the Ministers for Development Cooperation of Germany, the United Kingdom, Norway and the Netherlands. The four Utstein countries agreed to collaborate in their approach towards poverty reduction worldwide, by streamlining their own aid delivery systems and by influencing the international community’s policies to combat poverty. Her work as Minister and member of the Utstein Grouphas received wide international acclaim, including, in 2003, through the award of the first annual Commitment to Development Award by the Center for Global Development in Washington D.C. Recently, the OECD acknowledged that the “Utstein Group” of which she was a member contributed to international development receiving attention beyond the “development community” and making the MDG’s the dominant framework for discussing development.

On 1 October 2002, Eveline Herfkens was appointed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as his Executive Coordinator for the Millennium Campaign, with the rank of an Assistant Secretary General, for a period of 4 years, later prolonged with an additional year by a decision of the UNDP Executive Office. She continued to be involved in the Campaign as its Founder and Special Advisor to the UNDP Director on a volunteer basis until 2009. In this capacity, Herfkens helped promote the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals through advocacy activities at the global level and in particular in Europe. At present, she is a visiting scholar at the Paul H. Nitze School of Adnaced International Studies of Johns Hopkins Universityin Washington DC and a Senior Fellow at the School’s Center for Transatlantic Relations.

Between 1976 and 1981, she was an official in the area of development cooperation in the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
