    La crise sanitaire a porté un coup dur au modèle de la coopération internationale au développement par projets, la modalité la plus répandue. Finies (ou presque, ou en tout cas mutées à des modalités de télétravail) les myriades de gestionnaires de projets et d’experts internationaux et nationaux pour des missions de formulation, d’assistance technique, d’évaluation.

    The proposal for a European Union New Pact on Migration and Asylum, submitted by the European Commission on September 23, 2020, for approval by the European Parliament and the European Council, aims to provide a comprehensive response to the challenges posed to EU countries by migration and asylum.
