Time to Strengthen EU Engagement in Fragile States As negotiations for the next EU funding cycle approach, there needs to be a clear policy discussion about how engaging in fragile and conflict-affected states is in the interest of Europeans.

‼️It is not too late to put fragility & conflict back on the EU’s list of priorities.

GPPi's @abiwatson.bsky.social & @julianbergmann.bsky.social from @idos-research.bsky.social call on the EU to develop a more strategic, well-funded approach to fragility & conflict 👇

Opinion: Amid US fallout, time for the EU to step up assistance to Ukraine As U.S.-Ukraine relations take a hit, the EU needs to step up financial and development assistance to Ukraine if it wants a seat at the negotiating table for any ceasefire agreement.

"As U.S.-Ukraine relations take a hit, the #EU needs to step up financial and development assistance to #Ukraine if it wants a seat at the negotiating table for any ceasefire agreement," argues IDOS expert @julianbergmann.bsky.social in his @devex.com opinion piece: www.devex.com/news/opinion...

Thanks for the feedback! The piece focuses on MS development agencies' engagement in fragile settings & their cooperation in a Team Europe approach. But I absolutely agree on need for more research on intra-EU coordination, incl. between COM & EEAS. Very happy to further exchange with you on this!

We hosted alongside @enabel1.bsky.social @gizgmbh.bsky.social an event to launch our report: "Staying Engaged as Team Europe in Fragile Settings”

• Discussion topics included importance of locally-led approaches, strengthened partnerships & a coordinated #TeamEurope approach

Social media card with text: The Current Column. Two years of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine Support for Ukraine: Europe must step up its efforts Quote: “It is precisely now that Europe must not let up in its support for the country, and should intensify its efforts – including the reconstruction of Ukraine, which has already begun, as well as the country’s further integration into the European Union (EU).“ Dr Julian Bergmann (IDOS) in his column on the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Feb 24 marked the second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In #TheCurrentColumn, @julianbergmann.bsky.social stresses that support for Ukraine is not only question of European solidarity but crucial for a stable European security order: www.idos-research.de/en/the-curre....

Neue afrikapoitische Leitlinien bieten die Chance, Kohärenz in der deutschen #Afrikapolitik zu stärken und einen integrierten Ansatz zu verankern. Dafür braucht es ein gemeinsames Narrativ und die Stärkung ressortübergreifender Institutionen und Verfahren. Mein Beitrag für #JointFutures
