This document will be presented at the Madrid conference (16-18 March 2010), as a first result of the work undertaken on this theme. The contents of the Principles refer to and articulate the values and vision on trade union development partnerships, as well as, on cooperation/coordination features. Therefore, they are focused on the INTERNAL DIMENSION of trade union development effectiveness. It is important to notice that the Principles will be subject to further analysis and discussion during the regional consultations (Africa, Latin America, Asia), which will be organized on ad hoc basis in the following months of 2010. Regional consultations are indeed mainly aimed at raising awareness on the contents of the Principles and at the same time gathering the perception/inputs of the trade union partners in the south.
