来源:全球问题ZAGREB, Croatia, June 5 (IPS) - In the hard-to-reach rural community of West Pokot, Kenya, 156 young women crossed a threshold that once seemed out of reach. HER Lab 是一个针对边缘化农村年轻女性的劳动力技能项目，她们的毕业不仅仅是一个仪式。它展示了有针对性的投资、值得信赖的当地伙伴关系和妇女经济赋权的力量。
所有毕业生都是家庭中第一个完成高等教育和培训的人。他们现在有能力在长期缺乏机会的社区中赚钱、领导和建设有尊严的未来。 Yet even as we celebrate this success, grassroots progress like this is increasingly at risk — not because the model is flawed, but because European and global policy is drifting away from the approaches that make such outcomes possible.
欧盟的预算十字路口
欧盟在谈判 2027 年后多年金融框架 (MFF) 时面临关键时刻。 While the European Commission has described the draft as its “most ambitious ever”, rising debt repayments and interest costs mean that, in real terms, funding for external action and development is stagnating or declining.
新的多批次贷款融资优先考虑竞争力、产业政策和国防。在动荡的地缘政治背景下，这些优先事项是可以理解的，但它们可能会以牺牲发展合作、官方发展援助（ODA）和注重性别平等的项目为代价——特别是那些支持非洲的项目。
这不是抽象的。 Cohesion and Common Agricultural Policy budgets are shrinking, while development funding is increasingly consolidated into broader external action instruments. Member states have warned that any real increase is marginal and that adjustment costs will fall on the most vulnerable, within and beyond Europe.
