The first edition of the Africa-Europe Foundation Report on the State of Africa-Europe (2024) culminates two years of work tracking commitments made at the 6th European Union-African Union Summit in Brussels in February 2022.

The report aims to assess progress against commitments made by both regions - as expressed in the Final Declaration - regarding finance, policy, or impact and identify potential avenues for better processes and additional actions.

Building on data provided by the AU and EU and, where available, from Member States and non-state/non-institutional actors, it represents an independent analysis of the delivery of commitments designed as a resource to complement the existing institutional monitoring processes implemented by the AU and EU.

The Report also aggregates views and analysis from the AEF multistakeholder dialogue platforms, its Strategy and Expert Working Groups, as well as youth, focus groups, and public polling on new challenges and opportunities that the Africa-Europe Partnership remains uniquely placed to address in a world increasingly challenged by interconnected crises.


About the author

The Africa-Europe Foundation

The Africa-Europe Foundation (AEF) is the only organisation of its kind shared equally by stakeholders from both Africa and Europe. It is an independent platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue, frank debate and strategic analysis bringing together experts and leaders from diverse organisation settings (civil society, policymaking, private sector, academia), to strengthen the partnership between Africa and Europe. Our multi-stakeholder Strategy and Working Groups offer a safe space for exchange on critical, sometimes contentious issues between Africa and Europe and form the backbone of AEF’s work to catalyse innovative partnerships and unlock untapped areas of cross-continental cooperation, from Green Industrialisation to the future of health and the reform of financial systems to climate, energy, agri-food systems, blue economy, youth, Digital and AI.
