Report launch: Who profits from the Global Gateway? The EU’s new strategy for development cooperation
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?
