European Union (EU) and Africa cover areas such as peace and security, democracy, human rights, development and sustainable economic growth.
1)Democracy, good governance and human rights
Good governance and respect for human rights are essential for peaceful and sustainable growth in any society. Africa and the EU share these core values.
The Joint Africa-EU Strategy identifies
democratic governance and human rights as a priority area for dialogue and joint action. Both parties believe that democracy can only be attained through the establishment of strong accountable institutions as well as an active and organised civil society.
2)Peace and security
The partnership between the EU and Africa aims at building a peaceful, safe, secure environment, which fosters:
human security
political stability
effective governance
sustainable and inclusive growth.
The African Union (AU) leads efforts across the continent to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts. The EU is a key partner for the AU on peace and security issues. Work in these areas has strong political backing and financial support from the EU’s African Peace Facility (APF) .
3)Sustainable and inclusive development and growth and continental integration
The Joint Africa-EU Strategy identifies sustainable and inclusive development, growth and continental integration as a
key priority for dialogue and joint actions during the period 2014-2017.
Africa and the EU are actively engaged in dialogue on their respective experiences in regional economic integration, the creation and governance of regional trade blocs, and Africa’s integration into the global economy.
4)Global and emerging issues
The EU and Africa share similar views on important global issues such as:
climate change;
protecting the environment;
the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development;
trade;
tackling the proliferation of small arms, weapons of mass destruction and transfers of conventional arms.
The two continents are committed to working together on these issues. They therefore aim to implement joint actions identified in the EU-Africa Roadmap.
