Transforming the Africa–Europe Relationship

This piece draws on a longer publication, “Walking Together Differently: Transforming the Africa–Europe Relationship, which explores in depth what it will take to shift how Africa and Europe work together.

Here, the focus is on one aspect of that broader reflection: the gap between the language of partnership and how the relationship is currently experienced in practice, and why addressing that gap matters for building more credible, reciprocal, and effective collaboration between the two continents.
