Devex: Urpilainen tells EU states to step up financing ahead of Africa summit

From the article:

“It’s a good thing for most of the money to be programmed geographically, as long as priorities, projects, investments are jointly agreed on and jointly owned with partner countries,” said Mikaela Gavas, a co-director of the Europe program and senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development. However, “we don’t have any idea of how agreeing the TEIs have worked in practice and whether partner countries have genuinely been involved,” she told Devex this week.
