23-05-2023 - 20:05
The study "African Union integration and relations with the EU" analyses the dynamics that shape African political integration as well as foreign and security cooperation, identifying areas of convergence and divergence in the various cooperation formats between the African and the European Unions.
The EU has long paid significant diplomatic, financial and institutional attention to its relationship with the African Union (AU). Engagement between the two organisations has steadily risen in scope and complexity over recent years. The EU remains the AU's principal partner, notably in the domain of peace and security. This study recommends that the EU adapt its funding arrangements, cooperation formats and multilateral engagement with the AU to remain in tune with the pace and direction of political integration in Africa.
The study was requested by the Committee on Foreign Affairs and commissioned by the Policy Department for External Policies. It will be presented on 24 May 2023, 15.35 - 16.30 in ANTALL 4Q2.
