Join us for the unveiling of a new report by Counter Balance and Eurodad, supported by Oxfam, which sheds light on the critical issues surrounding the EU's Global Gateway strategy.

The report dives deep into the question: is the Global Gateway advancing the EU's foreign policy and corporate interests at the expense of real development in its partner countries?

Register today to engage in a discussion with the report's authors, EU officials, and civil society representatives as we dig into this pressing question.
