Background:

This document was produced as a result of the desire to forge a new and stronger partnership, following the path started with previous political strategies such as the AU Constitutive Act and Strategic Framework 2004-2007 and the EU Africa Strategy of 2005.

The Strategy agreed during the EU-Africa Summir in 2007 provides a framework for long-term, systematic and integrated cooperation. It was meant to be implemented through successive short-term Action Plans and enhanced political dialogue at all levels, resulting in concrete and measurable outcomes in all areas of partnership.

The Joint EU-Africa Strategy sets out a political vision and roadmap for the future cooperation between the two continents. It was agreed during the EU-Africa Summit, held in December 2007.
