The AU-EU summit: Why the EU and Africa need each other in a fragmented world
About this episode
The episode discusses the evolving partnership between Europe and Africa, focusing on moving beyond traditional aid dynamics towards a collaborative approach in global security and investment.
In this episode of Europolis: the Global Europe podcast, Sophie Desmidt interviews Gustavo de Carvalho, senior researcher at SAIIA, on whether Europe and Africa can move beyond old donor-recipient dynamics to become the "adults in the room": stabilising forces that champion multilateralism as others step back. The conversation dives into how the partnership is shifting from aid to investment, the test for the EU’s Global Gateway, and why a true partnership means discussing global security, not just African conflicts.
