Case Summary: The European Union Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) is a foreign aid program that is part of the EU’s immigration policy. EUTF’s goals are all centered on reducing migration from Africa to Europe. It’s supposed to address the “root causes” of why people leave Africa to move (legally or illegally, regularly or irregularly) to Europe in search of better lives. AFF plan will reform EUTF under the argument that it doesn’t work to reduce migration and doesn’t improve the lives of the poor in the countries it’s supposed to be helping. This brief shows why EUTF is good and why it’s not a problem for EUTF to focus on migration instead of general “development aid.” In addition, since AFF’s reforms would have the effect of smoothing or encouraging migration from Africa to Europe, the Disadvantages show why that would be bad.
