Giulio Fossi Papers available at the Historical Archives of the EU

The private papers of Giulio Fossi, a Florentine economist, can now be consulted at the HAEU. There are 122 files covering the period 1973 – 1998 concerning Fossi’s relations in his role as expert in external cooperation with the OECD Development Centre. There is also material on the work of the "Fondation de France" with the Less Developed Countries (LDC's) through the "Comité Tiers Monde". Fossi could be considered the link between the OECD and the NGO's activities in the Third World. 

The OECD Development Centre was invited to conferences, workshops, seminars and meetings of the various NGO's involved in regional planning and the provision of development aid to the ACP countries. Fossi, and other representatives of the Centre, would report back to the OECD on matters concerning North/South and South/South relations.
