    A un moment où l’Afrique renforce son attractivité, se dote de son propre récit et suscite l’intérêt de nouveaux partenaires, et où l’Europe traverse une crise économique et institutionnelle importante, quelles peuvent être les bases nouvelles du partenariat Union Européenne-Afrique ?

The money goes to the women of the household, because research undertaken in the 1990s – and later confirmed in other countries – showed an increase in babies' height and weight when women have more control over household income.
