EU trust fund for Africa 'has not addressed risks of abuse'
The Guardian
|September 26, 2024
A €5bn EU fund aiming to stem the mass movement of people from Africa to Europe lacks focus and fails to address the risk of human rights abusers who could benefit, the bloc's spending watchdog has found.
In a report released yesterday, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) intensified its criticism of the EU Trust Fund for Africa, which was set up in 2015 by European leaders seeking to curb the growing numbers of people making dangerous sea crossings in an attempt to reach Europe.
While the funds have largely been spent, the criticism from the EU's official spending watchdog carries added weight after recent EU deals with Egypt and Tunisia aimed at stopping migration and shoring up stability on Europe's southern border.
