WEBINAR: The Sahel Renaissance: Enabling a Just Rural Transformation

12 May 2021. WEBINAR: The Sahel Renaissance: Enabling a Just Rural Transformation.

As Africa and Europe seek to re-set their partnership, the Africa Europe Foundation is engaging with our partners across both continents to understand the long-term vision and the converging and diverging priorities at the heart of this relationship. Africa and Europe have a shared interest and much to gain from one another in accelerating the progress of the global agenda for sustainable development and peace, whilst working together to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis.

The ‘Talking Africa EU series’ serves as a consultative exercise for key stakeholders and partners through a ‘whole of society’ approach, from both continents, to voice their perspectives on the future of the relationship.
