sequaForum 2019 A03: New partnerships with Africa

Focus on Africa

European and African countries are expanding their development cooperation. As the implementing project organisation, sequa contributes comprehensive expertise to the projects.

Cooperation with African countries has long been a priority of German and European development cooperation. The immense problems faced by many African states and the poverty of broad sections of the population resulting from these problems are reasons enough for intensive cooperation. Last but not least, the growing pressure of migration shows the European countries how immediate the difficulties are and how strong the mutual interest should be to find common solutions. But this is only one side of the coin.
