UK’s partnerships with Africa
With the world’s youngest and fastest growing populations, African countries are changing rapidly. The UK government strategy is to establish long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships with African nations. These will build on our shared interests for a safer, healthier and more prosperous future for us all.
This approach will support these partnerships, with an increased focus on 5 areas:
-
unlocking inclusive economic growth in Africa
-
security and stability as the essential foundations for people and prosperity
-
climate change and sustainable natural resource management
-
investing in people: education, health and jobs
-
greater UK engagement and presence in the Sahel
By supporting African-led priorities with British expertise, we can provide more opportunities. These include more jobs and greater stability, including for women and girls, in the UK and across Africa.
