Africa: 'Aid for Trade' may cut health, education funds
27.07.2007
African governments are worried that funds from the European Union (EU) to help them increase their countries' share of world trade could be at the expense of other forms of development aid. The EU's executive arm, the European Commission (EC), has been promising that substantial "aid for trade" will be available to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) nations, who are set to sign Economic Partnership Agreements with Brussels by the end of this year.
