The Africa-Europe Foundation (AEF) Strategy Groups have been engaged in a dialogue process since December 2020, looking at 5 key thematic areas: Energy, Agriculture and Food Systems, Transport and Connectivity, Health, and Digital. The Groups have looked at ways to strengthen the Africa-Europe Partnership along these areas, breaking the traditional mould of siloed working streams, and focusing on unlocking opportunities that can help both continents address the global crises of health and climate, and promoting new leadership from women and youth.
