Absolutely correct.This should suggest #EU and #AU to launch a jointly managed initiative to change metrics and explore together new ways for concrete multilateral actions @NEPAD_Mayaki@FEPS_Europe
President Macron has made announcements of the same kind before- like special post-pandemic allocation, extra SDR diversion to Africa, promises of the Paris Summit on new financing. The tangible outcomes so far: "to be seen", not yet there. ODA slashed, FDI declining, reprioratisation of EU towards Ukraine. With a current FDI stock of $60 billion it is hard to believe on a $27 billion additional investment in the continent. Looks pretty though... at yet another Summit.
🔴 Our Executive President, Dr. Karim El Aynaoui, underscores that think tanks have a key strength: they cooperate easily, creating safe spaces for difficult discussions, while producing knowledge designed to inform policymakers through analysis, clarity, and policy-relevant insights rather than abstract debate.
@NEPAD_Mayaki@PolicyCenterNS Forums like the #AtlanticDialogues are vital in a fragmented global context. Complimenting the Africa Policy Bridge Tank, by translating global debates into Africa-centred policy action. #Mayaki’s leadership continues to ground African agency and long-term development thinking.
