The EU's Cunning New Aid Game: Keep Migrants Away? – We'll Pay. No? – Sorry, No Way!
The EU is cooking up a new plan: linking development aid to strict migration control from Africa and beyond, according to a draft European Commission (EC) document seen by a US newspaper.
This condition will be part of the EC's 2028–2034 budget proposal — set to be released next Wednesday — marking a major shift toward using foreign aid as a tool for domestic political goals, the newspaper noted.
The EC reportedly plans to merge all aid programs into one Global Europe Fund, split across six regions:
Europe
Middle East, North Africa & Gulf
Sub-Saharan Africa
Asia & Pacific
Americas & Caribbean
Global
Meanwhile, Ukraine's post-conflict reconstruction will be funded through a separate and still-undefined financial mechanism, the report added.
