The story investigates how a growing proportion of EU development aid resources are being diverted to support projects aimed at stemming migration flows. The project explores the issue from two perspectives: top-down, by data analysis of shifting funds allocation; and bottom-up, by collecting stories and evidence from the ground in recipient African countries.
The first part of the investigation will be carried out with datajournalism tools: through maps, info-graphics and animated Gif we will track EU development funds allocations and movements. The second part of the story consists of multimedia (written, photo and video) reportage based on testimonies and evidence about how Eu resources are being spent in Mali and Niger. Text piece will be accompanied by shareable short videos and graphics that will include photos, maps and data visualizations.
