Prioritizing Partnerships with Africa
Sub-Saharan African governments and their partners increasingly work towards mutual interests that support sustainable democratic development, often facilitated through “bilats,” delegations, or multilateral conferences. Partnerships with these states will have a significant impact moving forward, leading to the question of what these partnerships should look like.
