Promoting Stability and Development in Africa: How to Foster Cooperation between Public and Private Sectors

30/11/2015

Africa is experiencing one of the greatest transformations of its history. Today’s Sub-Saharan Africa is still marked by enduring instability, mass migrations and crises, but at the same time it is also characterised by positive developments including economic growth and regional integration. This publication sheds light on these changes from three perspectives: economic policies and sustainable development; good governance and democracy; peace and security. Research in relevant regions in Sub-Saharan Africa and key countries (Ethiopia, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa) has been conducted by African and European experts with the aim of assessing the role of the private sector and determining the partnership opportunities that could potentially be developed with the public sector. A series of policy recommendations are offered to the European Union on how to tackle these opportunities in cooperation with old and new actors.

Final product of the research project "Promoting Stability and Development in Africa: How to Foster Cooperation between Public and Private Sectors" conducted by the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) together with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) and with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Presented at the conference "Fostering Stability and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Analysis and Perspectives on Public-Private Partnerships", Brussels, 10 February 2016.
