As the EU and Africa prepare in 2017 to redefine their priorities for cooperation under the framework of the Africa-EU Joint Strategy adopted ten years ago, the European Parliament were due to debate, during the first November 2017 plenary session, a resolution outlining its position on the issue, ahead of the EU-Africa summit scheduled for the end of November 2017.

This summit would focus on the need to invest in youth. The issue had become prominent against the background of demographic growth in Africa and increasing irregular migration from the continent to Europe.
