TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE
STRATEGY WITH AFRICA
#EUAfrica
March 2020
Today’s Strategy with Africa is the roadmap to move forward and bring our partnership to the next level. Africa is the European Union’s natural
partner and neighbour. Together we can build a more prosperous, more peaceful and more sustainable future for all.
The European Union’s contribution towards a Strategy with Africa proposes to build partnerships in five key areas to tackle together
the challenges of the 21st century. It builds on an ongoing dialogue with
the
EU’s
African
partners and will be taken forward in the next
European Union-African Union Summit in Brussels in autumn 2020.
