3. African Peace Facility 10th EDF– New context
• Africa-EU joint strategy
– Principles– A jointly developed & shared long-term vision– A partnership between equals, moving away from the traditional donor –
beneficiary relation– Political dialogue
» on issues of common concern (eg. peace & security) » on key issues for development (eg. governance)» seeking joint responses to global challenges (eg. energy; climate change)» promoting a broad-based and wide-ranging people-centred partnership
– The Strategy goes beyond:– development cooperation (eg. sciences)– institutions (eg. Non-State actors, civil society, private sector)– Africa (eg. international level: Poznan, UN)– Treating Africa as one (continent-to-continent approach)– EU test case for policy coherence, aid effectiveness, division of labour
