On-site event - streamed live online
The African and European continents are linked by a close relationship. Knowing and understanding each other’s perspectives is crucial to the success of this partnership.
Together with the Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach, Global Perspectives Initiative interviewed 16 experts from the African continent for the qualitative study “Shaping a Common Future: Perspectives on the German Africa Policy”. Decision-makers from business, academia, public health and civil society from several African countries shared their perspectives on the continent’s challenges and their expectations for future African-European cooperation.
