In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM continues the initiative in Senegal, Ghana and Niger with the objective to improve relations between migrants and host communities, while stimulating the debate surrounding how to reduce the spread of misinformation and xenophobia, two particularly sensitive topics during COVID-19 times.’ ALTAI CONSULTING Altai Consulting provides research and monitoring & evaluation services to public institutions and international organisations in developing countries. Our teams operate in more than 50 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

This report includes outputs from programmes implemented in Burkina Faso, Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, The Gambia and Togo.1 In addition, for the first time this report includes outcome analysis focus boxes for relevant projects. Portfolio As of May 2021, the EUTF for Africa has committed (i.e. funds allocated following decisions by the Operational Committee) €4.92B (billion), including €2.21B to 114 decisions in the SLC window. A total of 193 operational projects have been contracted in the SLC region. The current report covers 166 or the equivalent of €1.75B.2 The 193 contracted projects include 42 completed projects, 131 projects in implementation and 20 projects in inception. 124 of the projects currently in implementation have data or other qualitative information to report and seven are either too early in their implementation phase to be able to report outputs or their activities have not yet generated outputs that are relevant to the EUTF indicators. In addition to the 124 implementing projects, this report includes data from 42 completed projects, bringing the total of projects covered to 166. Figure 1: Budget breakdown by country and Strategic Objective, April 20213 Of the total budget contracted by the Trust Fund in the SLC window to operational projects (€1.90B), the largest share (30%) goes to projects focusing on security and governance
