The seminar will address the major values and international issues relating to development aid interventions in the countries of the Global South.
It will address three main themes: current debates on the universality of human rights and common goods; the place of health in the global management of international affairs by the UN, its programmes and agencies, and other international organisations; and the integration of a global approach to development aid in contexts and states described as fragile, in response to the requirements of development aid effectiveness (Paris Declaration, 2005). International Project Management issues will also be covered.
Each of these 3 areas will be addressed on the basis of one or more case studies, in order to ground the lessons in the reality of a field close to the working conditions of the participants.

NB: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. This implies that anyone using generative AIs in a way that is not consistent with their intended use is committing an irregularity within the meaning of art. 107 of the RGEE (non-personal production by the student as part of an assessment). Permitted uses of AI will be specified in class. In all cases, those using generative AI will be required to make explicit mention of it in the terms and conditions communicated in this respect, and to keep an accessible verbatim record of the requests made to the AI and the responses given, as well as the date on which the exchange took place.
