"On paper #GlobalGateway looks like a success story, but as partner countries, we face the risk of becoming mere suppliers of raw materials and resources, rather than active participants in the global value chain."

- Kaisha Atakhanova, Director of Regional Programs ARGO

📣 Hikma Bachegour gave us a clear message:

The current EU approach tends to replicate a green neocolonialism approach. The local communities need projects that protect water, that create jobs, also for women. They need projects that assure technology transfer and capacity building.

"Local people don't receive much information. Impact assessments are very weak. This project is huge in scale, but space for participation is very small."

– Kaisha Atakhanova, ARGO
