Europe–Africa Connectivity Outlook 2021: Post-Covid-19 Challenges and Strategic Opportunities

11 May 2021

The European Union stands at a critical junction in the international scramble to establish Europe–Africa commercial corridors.

Moreover, these new developments take place against the backdrop of an overall troubled EU-AU relationship which suffers not only from the divergences in interests in key areas such as migration, trade and climate but also from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and global geopolitics.
