Our mission
The European Union Emergency Trust Fund for stability and addressing root causes of irregular migration and displaced persons in Africa (EUTF for Africa) was created to address the root causes of instability, forced displacement and irregular migration and to contribute to better migration management.
Programmes under the EU Trust Fund for Africa are implemented in twenty six partner countries across three regions of Africa:
Sahel and Lake Chad Horn of Africa North Africa.
These countries face growing challenges ranging from demographic pressure, extreme poverty, weak social and economic infrastructure, internal tensions and institutional weaknesses to insufficient resilience to food crises and environmental stress.
Activities focus on four strategic objectives:
• Greater economic and employment opportunities
• Strengthening resilience of communities
• Improved migration management
• Improved governance and conflict prevention
