On Thursday 2 July, the Committee on Foreign Affairs will hold a workshop on 'A new EU approach to the Sahel region'. The event aims to enrich the EP's debate and oversight of the 2025 'renewed' EU approach for the Sahel region, focusing on its central part (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger).
The workshop will provide current insights into the rapidly evolving challenges, such as security threats, political instability, and humanitarian crises, and foreign interference in a geopolitically challenging environment, following a recent wave of military coups d'état, violent jihadism and separatism.Prof. Nina Wilén will present a study on the topic, including policy options for EU cooperation with the region, in support of regional stability, peace, good governance and potentially improved relations. A debate between her and MEPs, representatives of other EU institutions, and other experts will follow suit.

By early 2026, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine had entered its fifth year with no end in sight and an assessed reconstruction and recovery cost approaching EUR 507 billion over ten years, according to the Fifth Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment published in February 2026. This paper maps Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery needs across a spectrum from active conflict to long-term managed insecurity. Three findings run through the analysis. Firstly, current donor frameworks persistently conflate reconstruction necessities – rubble clearance, coal mine dewatering and environmental remediation – with commercially investable sectors, leaving the physical preconditions for everything else chronically underfunded while channelling finance toward showcase projects. Secondly, Ukraine’s demographic outlook – falling refugee return intentions together with a mobilised and wounded workforce – is the overriding planning constraint: infrastructure scaled for a population that does not return is stranded public expenditure. Thirdly, reconstruction and Ukraine's European Union accession pathway are formally aligned but operationally separated: nobody on either the European Union or Ukrainian side currently has authority to ensure that investment decisions made today meet the standards Ukraine will be required to apply upon accession. The study closes with recommendations addressed to the European Parliament.

This paper analyses the European Union’s (EU) evolving engagement with the Sahel region, with particular attention to the Alliance of Sahelian States – Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Drawing on interviews with EU officials and external experts, as well as academic and policy literature, this paper examines three interrelated dimensions. Firstly, it reviews the EU’s past approaches to the region since 2011, highlighting how shifting strategic logics, strong Member State influence and limited responsiveness to local political dynamics have shaped EU engagement. Secondly, it assesses the current political and security context in the Sahel. This is characterised by military rule, worsening jihadist violence and a strategic realignment towards non-Western partners, such as Russia, Türkiye and Gulf states, all aspects which influenced the partial rupture with the EU. Finally, it analyses the EU’s recently adopted renewed approach to the Sahel and the challenges of re-engaging in a volatile and competitive geopolitical environment. The paper concludes with policy options for a more pragmatic and differentiated EU engagement in the region, emphasising the need for flexible policies, connecting with the populations and lowered ambitions.
