The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted political priorities around the globe. All of a sudden, people around the world face a global health emergency with deep economic and social ripple effects. For the government of Germany, the recovery from COVID-19 has become a political priority both at home and abroad.
That rings true for Europe’s engagement with Nigeria and Africa at large. For the year of 2020, Europe and Africa have set themselves an ambitious agenda for an ever stronger EU-Africa partnership. The new President of the European Commission, Ms. Ursula von der Leyen, made her first official visit outside the EU to Addis Ababa, thus underlining the EU’s strong commitment to advancing the partnership.
For Europe’s partnership with Africa, the present crisis has reinforced our determination for closer cooperation, guided by a sense of shared responsibility and solidarity. In a joint Financial Times op-ed, Chancellor Angela Merkel and other African and European leaders have stated firmly: “Only a global victory that fully includes Africa can bring this pandemic to an end.”
In making a strong commitment to ‘Team Europe’, Germany has taken extensive steps in the fight against COVID-19, for example, by helping to build resilient health systems and mitigate the economic and social impact for people in Africa.
