Policy brief: The role of European development finance institutions in land grabs
Aprodev commissioned research to investigate the involvement of European Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in land grabs. The evidence shows that European DFIs are indeed involved in some land grabs, and there are real risks of being complicit in others in the future.  Según un nuevo estudio publicado hoy [1], bancos y los fondos de jubilación europeos están financiando a la gigante de palma aceitera Wilmar International, que está implicada en el acaparamiento de tierras en Uganda.  A Saudi firm will hold off its planned project in Sudan to produce wheat and other basic food items until the government eases a ban to repatriate profits.  Les témoignages que l'on entend dans les villages de Ndiael, au Sénégal, nous narrent une histoire bien connue.
