In their recent newsletter Aprodev, Cidse and Caritas Europe voices some reservations that EU civil society has on the joint strategy, especially considering the short timeline. Some discussions have taken place in Europe as a response to the EU Strategy for Africa, but no such preparations have taken place in Africa. “Building common views at continental level needs time and resources.” European civil society seems to be getting mobilized to secure a “real and strong African input” because “proposals which are drawn up in Brussels should not serve as a straightjacket for an African input. African counterparts should be able to reflect freely on how they would like to see future relations between the EU and Africa.”

It is a good idea for EU countries and Africa coming together to fight common goal in solving the problems in Africa.
