Associate Fellow

Nils-Sjard Schulz is associate fellow at FRIDE and an independent policy adviser. His research focuses on the global governance of development, the aid effectiveness agenda, international division of labour among donors, and South-South knowledge exchange. At FRIDE, his publications include country studies on Honduras, Malawi and Nicaragua, as well as analyses on European and global development policies at United Nations (UN), G20 and the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) levels. Recent policy briefs address the G20 development agenda and the role of the CIVETS countries in the global governance of development.

His experiences in policy advice include collaborations with the World Bank, the DAC, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Spanish EU presidency and the international Task Team on South-South Cooperation. He has been actively involved in the Accra High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (September 2008), and the Bogotá High-Level Event on South-South Cooperation and Capacity Development (March 2010), as well as in the preparations for the next High-Level Forum in Busan, Korea (December 2011).
