Mauritania is a solid and priority partner for the European Union in the region of West Africa and the Sahel. The EU’s Global Gateway Strategy and the response to drivers of fragility combining humanitarian-development-peacebuilding will be the focus of a DEVE mission to the country.

The exchange of views will be on the 'Impacts of cuts in development aid on sexual and reproductive health programmes, as well as on other health programmes for vulnerable groups, including children and persons with disabilities', from 14:30 to 15:30. This discussion will take place against the backdrop of a global trend of declining official development assistance (ODA), further aggravated by the recent US decision to terminate 83% of USAID programmes, creating a funding gap of USD 60 billion.
