Germany’s New Budget Orientations: What Is at Stake for Mali? 25/11/2025
Summary :
This Policy Brief examines Germany’s new budget orientations and their consequences for Mali, a country facing insecurity, conflict, climate shocks, displacement, and rising humanitarian needs. Germany is among Mali’s key financial partners through the Federal Foreign Office (AA) and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). However, from 2025 onward, significant budget cuts are expected, sharply reducing German contributions to the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). German aid currently supports essential sectors such as nutrition, health, water and sanitation, infrastructure, protection, displacement management, agriculture, and the Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) nexus. Reductions in funding could exacerbate vulnerabilities, intensify population movements, and weaken local NGOs, which are central to service delivery and conflict mitigation. The brief offers recommendations to mitigate these impacts, improve coordination, promote aid localization, and strengthen community resilience.

Despite Some Economic Gains, Poverty Remains Widespread in Guinea 23/12/2025
Summary :
Despite recent economic improvements, poverty remains pervasive in Guinea, according to Afrobarometer survey data from June 2025. A large majority of Guineans report having experienced shortages of essential goods over the past year, particularly cash income, medical care, clean water, and food. The Lived Poverty Index shows that nearly 80% of citizens endured moderate or severe poverty, disproportionately affecting women, less educated individuals, and residents of regions such as Kankan and Conakry. In response to these hardships, households rely heavily on family and community support networks to meet basic needs. Public dissatisfaction with government economic performance is widespread, especially regarding price stability, job creation, inequality reduction, and poverty alleviation. Approval ratings for government action across these areas have declined significantly since 2015, highlighting persistent social and economic vulnerabilities despite reported macroeconomic gains.

The Suspension of USAID Activities and its Impact on Nigeria’s Health Ecosystem 04/02/2026
Summary :
This article examines the impact of the suspension of USAID activities on Nigeria’s health ecosystem, with a particular focus on HIV and malaria programmes, health workforce stability, and domestic health financing. Based on key informant interviews with government officials, civil society organisations, and implementing partners, the study highlights how the abrupt funding cuts led to service disruptions, medicine stock-outs, layoffs of health workers, and weakened monitoring and prevention mechanisms. These effects were especially severe in states heavily reliant on external donor funding. Despite these challenges, the article documents adaptive responses by Nigerian authorities and partners, including budget reallocations, engagement with new donors, and increased emphasis on domestic resource mobilisation. The author argues that the crisis exposes the structural vulnerability of health systems dependent on a single donor and calls for more resilient, diversified, and nationally anchored financing strategies. The article concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening sustainability and preparedness within Nigeria’s health sector.

Between the Nets of Heritage and the Winds of Change: A Review of Senegal’s Economic Diplomacy 26/11/2025
Summary :
The article examines the evolution of Senegal’s economic diplomacy following the election of Bassirou Diomaye Faye in April 2024. This diplomacy blends continuity with strategic adjustments. Building on the achievements of the Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE) and long-standing efforts to attract foreign investment, the new administration seeks to strengthen economic sovereignty, transparency, and diversification of international partnerships. With a projected 8% growth rate in 2025 and persistent structural constraints, the government is auditing extractive industries, revising investment frameworks, and streamlining public-private partnerships. Internationally, Senegal is expanding its diplomatic reach, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Turkey, to secure technology transfers, financing, and strategic cooperation. However, existing commitments, reliance on international financial institutions, and deep integration within UEMOA limit the scope for drastic shifts. The result is a nuanced form of economic diplomacy—balancing inherited structures with new ambitions for national transformation.
