Does the EU still care about ending global poverty? Because its Global Gateway has major problems
Does the EU still care about ending global poverty? The new UN Roadmap on eradicating poverty, published on Wednesday (22 April), tells a very different story about how to fight poverty than the one the European Commission has been telling us for years. From EU officials, we hear that development cooperation has not delivered. Poverty remains widespread. The traditional “donor-recipient relationship” must be a thing of the past. It has come up short, and it is not what Global South countries want.

Poverty and the housing trap: An intergenerational challenge
In Europe, where you start in life still largely shapes where you end up. Yet, European policies too often fail to address the structural barriers that lock young people into disadvantage. Without support to access stable housing many enter adulthood trapped by circumstances they did not choose, allowing intergenerational poverty to persist. Removed from her mother’s care due to neglect and addiction-related instability, Ana[1] grew up in institutional care in the Basque Country, Spain.
Europe’s Libya deal: How outsourcing borders fuels abuse
“I ended up in a prison in Libya, an underground camp that no one knew existed. They force you to give a relative’s phone number to pay for your release. But none of my family knew I had left for Europe.” “I was tortured: they tie your hands above your head, then they whip your soles. Afterwards, you can’t walk. You’re forced to move on your knees. Every day we were beaten. I thought I would die in there, with no one to call for help.” Mamadou’s experience is not accidental.
What decent work looks like
What do we really mean when we say ‘decent work’? Too often, we reduce its meaning to jobs with fair pay and dignified working conditions. These are crucial elements, but if work is to be truly decent, it must go further. In our society, not all work is valued equally. Well-paid and ‘prestigious’ jobs often carry higher social status, while essential roles like caregiving or cleaning and maintenance are overlooked and underappreciated. These are the very roles that keep our communities functioning.
L’UE dovrebbe riconsiderare il lavoro oltre la competitività economica
Per quanto riguarda gli affari sociali, l’attuale Unione europea si concentra sull’inserimento delle persone nel mondo del lavoro, principalmente per stimolare la competitività e la crescita economica, ma è discutibile se questo debba essere l’obiettivo finale, scrive Maria Nyman. Maria Nyman è segretaria generale di Caritas Europa.
Vaccines for all: time for the EU to rise to the challenge
The Omicron variant is a sad reminder that global health solidarity has not succeeded. It’s time for the EU to support a temporary suspension of COVID-19 vaccine patents. The new variant reveals once again the true danger of the world vaccine divide, the COVID-19 pandemic being far from over two years after its beginning, hitting the most vulnerable more strongly.
[Opinion] Does new EU-ACP deal really 'decolonise' aid?
Since 2018, when the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries started negotiations on the deal that would replace the Cotonou Partnership Agreement ending in 2020, calls for "de-colonising aid" and a strong role for local actors in development have grown into a din.
Why COVID-19 shows that migrants’ integration in Europe is as important as ever ǀ View
Migrants, especially from outside of the EU, have played a vital role in keeping supermarkets, public transport, homecare and healthcare services working during the pandemic – all sectors that already faced labour shortages before the pandemic, often because of low pay and poor working conditions. Migration is key to keeping our economies and societies working.
Will 2020 be a pivotal year for Africa-EU relations? Not without dialogue and mutual respect ǀ View
• last updated: 11/03/2020 - 13:49 By Albert Mashika, Maria Nyman Opinions expressed in View articles are solely those of the authors. The 10th African Union-European Union (AU-EU) college-to-college meeting last month was attended by 22 EU Commissioners, the largest delegation of its kind ever on a trip outside the EU. Could this really be the first step to move away from a historically asymmetric relationship and toward true cooperation?
Temporary EU agreement on Mediterranean migrants offers hope and solidarity to asylum seekers ǀ View
On 3 October, the committee of the European Parliament in charge of migration, reunited for an meeting on search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean, went silent. It was a moment of mourning: exactly six years ago, a ship capsized half a nautical mile off the island of Lampedusa, killing at least 368 people. It was not to be the last time people would die trying to reach Europe in hope of a safer life. Between 2015 and 2018, more than drowned in the Mediterranean Sea.
