  • European Development Finance in Perma-Crisis

    San Bilal (ECDPM), has edited an e-book that presents valuable perspectives from external contributors. The e-book focuses on how the European Union (EU), its member states, and their development institutions can effectively address the numerous global challenges within the context of the international and European financial architecture for sustainable development. The world is currently facing a multitude of crises, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and rising debt. These challenges not only affect advanced economies but also pose severe risks to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and developing countries. However, according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, there is still hope and a chance to turn things around by taking concrete steps and working together. The European Union (EU) has been actively addressing these challenges through ambitious agendas and plans. With a strengthened European Financial Architecture for Development (EFAD) and international financial system reforms, the EU and its member states, financial institutions, and development agencies have the opportunity to strategically approach development finance and sustainable investment in line with European values and priorities. Through the Team Europe approach and Working Better Together process, the EU and its member states can coordinate their efforts to mobilize development resources more effectively, particularly in poorer and conflict-affected countries. The Global Gateway strategy enables Europe to project its influence globally, focusing on quality infrastructure development and aligning with European strategic goals. This e-book brings together insights from key actors on practical ways for the EU, its member states, and their development institutions to respond strategically, sustainably, and inclusively to the challenges of our time. It emphasizes the importance of aligning with the international and European financial architecture for sustainable development, prioritizing the needs and ownership of developing countries, and fostering a more effective and impactful European and international development finance agenda.

  • The implications of global multi-crises for EU-Africa relations. In the food security domain

    Food insecurity had been worsening significantly in Africa even before Russia´s invasion of Ukraine. Climate shocks, the COVID-19 pandemic and regional conflicts were disrupting food production and distribution resulting in rising costs for agricultural commodities on the continent. The war in Ukraine exacerbated the situation, pushing food and fertiliser prices even higher.

  • Implications of COVID-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine for EU-Africa relations – Development finance

  • The EU-Africa peace and security partnership. Political and financial stumbling blocks and a few ways forward

    The EU-Africa partnership has ebbed and flowed over the years, with the period since 2020 being particularly dynamic. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the response to the war in Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis in Europe, cleavages have been unearthed in the partnership.

  • Revamping international response to global food insecurity. Building transparent and participatory selection processes and governance in the UN Rome-based Agencies (RBAs)

    Three concurrent crises — climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine — have combined to worsen food insecurity and malnutrition around the globe. Extreme climate events are becoming more frequent and severe, magnifying the already higher food prices caused by agricultural supply chain disruptions precipitated first by the pandemic and now by geopolitical turbulence. The Rome Based Agencies are called to provide concrete and effective responses to these multi-crises. This report is the result of an Open Consultation Forum organised with IFAD running candidates in June 2022.
