The Prosperity pillar (1/2) – Africa's economic transformation is central to the partnership between Africa and the EU. Unlocking the continent's potential is not only key to its own development but also to boosting global competitiveness for both Africa and Europe. This requires reducing investment risks, strengthening regional value chains, and supporting intra-African trade. Progress depends on improving the mobilisation of domestic resources and addressing unsustainable debt levels. Expanding both physical and digital infrastructure and services across the continent is also key to achieving this transformation.
