Abstract: What do people from developing countries think about development cooperation? Do the opinions of people from the south on development issues differ greatly from those of people living in the Netherlands? NCDO formulated the VoiceOver 2015 questionnaire on development cooperation to answer these questions. VoiceOver 2015 is a network of people from developing countries whose members contribute to the Dutch development debate with their opinions. A questionnaire, comparable to the Dutch Barometer, was distributed to members of the VoiceOver 2015 network in December 2009 (249 people from developing countries completed all questions). The Dutch Barometer is carried out once a year among a representative sample of the Dutch population. This research paper presents the answers from VoiceOver members and compares them with the answers from the Dutch Barometer 2009. Since the VoiceOver questionnaire is not representative for people in developing countries the results should be read and interpreted as solely indicative. This summary presents the most salient results from the comparative survey.
