"EU Trust Funds - Shaping more comprehensive external action?"

The Bêkou Trust Fund

"The Fund’s ability to provide rapid assistance in the specific context of the CAR was praised by the Minister of Economy and Planning of the transitional government. One year after implementation, first positive results could be reported in the medical field, in agriculture and for employment creation, which is a record speed for EU supported projects. New domains will be added to the assistance in relation to gender, urban rehabilitation, reconciliation and support to the eco-system thereby underpinning the approach to go beyond emergency programming only."
