At the 2019 Russia-Africa Summit, agreements worth €11.2 Billion were announced.
Factories, energy project’s & infrastructure were among the ambitions.
But #SEVEN years later, what has actually been delivered?
The discussion provided a valuable opportunity for joint reflection. 🇪🇺EU remains fully committed to continued engagement on #Somalia with the @_AfricanUnion . 🤝
A lot can change in 10 years.
EU-Africa trade has grown 51% since 2016, reaching €357 billion in 2025.
And 25 years after launching Everything But Arms, the EU is keeping its commitment to long-term trade preferences.
➕ Opportunities ➕ Predictability. Win-win.

The strength of the Africa-Europe partnership will ultimately be measured by what we deliver, not simply what we commit to.
I met with H.E. Ambassador Javier Niño Pérez, the European Union Ambassador to the African Union, to discuss how we can turn shared ambitions into tangible development outcomes for Africa.
Our discussions focused on strengthening our strategic partnership and accelerating progress in areas critical to Africa’s development, including regional infrastructure, energy connectivity, agricultural transformation, climate resilience, health sovereignty, youth employment and investment mobilisation.
Our partnership with the EU offers an opportunity to deepen cooperation beyond financing through institutional strengthening, technical collaboration, capacity development, and strategic investment in bankable projects that advance Africa’s priorities and drive sustainable, African-led development.
At AUDA-NEPAD, we remain committed to translating our partnerships into measurable results that advance Agenda 2063 and deliver meaningful improvements in the lives of African citizens.
#AUEU put forward #AIinScience as a new area of research & innovation cooperation.
@EU_Commission s @MariaCrisRusso highlights the 🇪🇺EU’s AI in Science Strategy & opportunities for African researchers through #RAISE.

The EU-Africa partnership is based on mutual interests. Our trade & investment relations support Africa's ambitions for industrialisation & jobs, and at the same time help Europe diversify its partnerships & build resilient supply chains.

The 2nd Roundtable on Democracy, Media and Socialisation in Africa, facilitated over two days by Wynna Musabayana, former Head of the Communications Division at the ICD, explored key issues shaping democratic resilience in Africa.
Discussions focused on the impact of artificial intelligence on democracy and elections, information integrity, disinformation and hate speech, independent journalism, media literacy and public trust.
Participants also examined ways to strengthen youth civic engagement, women’s leadership, disability inclusion, civic and voter education, and the role of electoral processes in democratic socialisation.
Convened by the @AUC_PAPS in partnership with @Int_IDEA, with support from the @EUtoAU funded SPEC project.

His Excellency called for democracy to be experienced in people’s daily lives through fundamental freedoms, social justice, prosperity and meaningful choices, urging stakeholders to turn dialogue into a realistic, achievable agenda for advancing democracy in Africa.

Building the Roadmap from Addis Ababa to Brussels
Today in Addis Ababa, our CEO, @nardosbthomas met H.E. Ambassador Javier Niño Pérez, EU Ambassador to the African Union, for a focused conversation on turning the Luanda Summit’s political commitments into delivery that citizens can see and feel.
Together with our agency, @EUtoAU, @_AfricanUnion, @EU_Partnerships and @EU_Commission, the focus is practical: anchoring the 4 November AU–EU Senior Officials Meeting in African results, connecting Global Gateway investment to Agenda 2063, and opening the way for a CEO-level dialogue with Commissioner @JozefSikela in Brussels.
From health sovereignty and skills to infrastructure, climate, energy and digital innovation, the AU–EU partnership can become more than a funding relationship. It can be a shared delivery compact, co-designed, implemented and measured together.
2026 must be the year commitments become visible change.

Over the weekend in Addis Ababa, @ilo joined @FAJafrica, @UNESCO , @_AfricanUnion & EU to discuss how AI can support quality journalism without undermining decent work.
The message from journalist unions across Africa was clear: 🤖 AI must be negotiated, not imposed.
EU Delegation to AU retweeted
Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI), decent working conditions and media freedom are essential for quality journalism in #Africa.
Over the weekend, @FAJafrica brought journalist leaders together in Addis Ababa to discuss how to tackle disinformation and misinformation, improve journalists’ working conditions and make sure AI supports journalists and their work across the continent.
Our sincere thanks to UNESCO for its support through the Multi-Donor Programme (MDP), as well as to the EU and ILO for their invaluable financial support.
