Key points
- The primary goal of the fund is to foster stability and address the root causes of irregular migration by promoting economic opportunities.
- There are significant concerns that using ad hoc trust funds bypasses the standard budgetary authority and undermines budget unity.
- The fund risks shifting development aid away from the poorest, least developed countries to cover current crises.
- A clear and transparent distinction must be made between funding for development activities and funding for migration management or border control.
