Outlook Africa: Investing in Africa’s Growth and Health
 
Report on the second international policy summit on Africa
 Organised by Friends of Europe in partnership with Total, the World Bank and Gallup, and with media partner Europe’s World
 
 This is the report of the second international policy summit on Africa, which took place at the Bibliothèque Solvay on 29 and 30 April 2009, and brought together an array of experts from Africa, Europe and the rest of the world.
 
Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, speakers agreed that now more than ever Africa is poised to play a great role in the new world order. Panellists, along with some 300 participants, discussed the impact of the global financial meltdown on African economies, Europe’s commitments to the continent and the new era of EU-Africa relations in the aftermath of the 2007 Joint EU-Africa Strategy.
