EU–Africa Partnership on Migration and Mobility in Light of COVID-19: Perspectives from North Africa

The pandemic not only acts as a multiplier of existing developmental and socioeconomic challenges in Africa – and thereby contributes to increasing

It is hoped that the current health and socioeconomic crisis would also act as an opportunity to substantially rethink the relations between the two continents on, and well beyond migration.

Getting the pandemic globally and permanently under control is key to mitigating its impacts on health, society and the economy.

The pandemic has made these SDGs even more difficult to achieve by 2030, and could derail progress on other SDGs as well.
