The implications of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine for Africa-Europe economic relations


The European Think Tanks Group (ETTG) with the support of the Regional Bureau Africa (RBA) of UNDP undertook practical analyses on the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine on Africa and on the Africa-Europe partnership. The analysis served as an input in a major event organised in Brussels on November 30 and on December 1, 2022. Participants included, amongst others, key European and African policy makers, UN agencies and a range of civil society organisations such as leading think tanks and knowledge centres from both Africa and Europe.


Anzetse Were shared her thoughts on how to mobilise more and better development finance for Africa in times of scarcity.
