The Africa-EU Strategic Partnership

The Joint Africa-EU Strategy, which provides the overarching long-term framework for Africa-EU relations, is implemented through jointly identified priorities, which are of common interest to both the EU and Africa, and significantly impact on the daily lives of citizens on both continents. Within each area of cooperation, the focus is on actions at the global, continental or cross regional levels and in which participating actors have a collective capacity to deliver.

Priority areas:

1. Peace and security;
2. Democracy, good governance and human rights;
3. Human development;
4. Sustainable and inclusive development and growth and continental integration;
5. Global and emerging issues.
