This event will be organised by the Africa-Europe Foundation (AEF). AEF is an independent platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue, frank debate and strategic analysis founded by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation and the Brussels-based think tank, Friends of Europe, in partnership with the African Climate Foundation and ONE Campaign. The AEF aims to empower a narrative shift about the relations between Africa and Europe and acknowledges the importance of the exchange of ideas and experiences and the creation of opportunities for dialogue and cooperation to be at the heart of the partnership between Africa and Europe. As part of its multi-annual programming AEF aims to also complement existing mechanisms to track and facilitate the effective implementation of the commitments of the AU-EU Partnership.
The event will be organised in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), and the African Union Development Agency - New Partnership for Africa's Development (AUDA-NEPAD).
