Africa has been and will continue to be a priority for the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament. For us, Africa is an equal partner in endeavours, aspirations and dreams to fight inequality so our actions must mirror this reality. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has magnified the scourge of inequality within Africa. Inequality and its resolution, compounded by old challenges of extreme poverty, hunger and unemployment, is our main focus of concern.

We Socialists and Democrats fight for sustainable development and inclusive economic growth that will leave no child, no woman and no man behind. We want Europe, together with our African partners, to focus increasingly on political cooperation that is people-driven, addressing inequalities. We believe this will respond to the challenges of extreme poverty and unemployment and will contribute to making Africa a better and more sustainable place for its inhabitants to live.

A more mature and contemporary Africa-EU partnership can help us address the global challenges we face in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Together, we can strengthen democracy and human rights, and foster sustainable economic and human development in our societies.

Empowering women

Women’s rights are first and foremost human rights, but societies where women can expect justice and equal opportunities are also more successful. We believe therefore that empowering women is not only a matter of justice, but also essential for building successful societies.

We are working together with other international partners to empower African women, defend their rights and prevent violence and discrimination. We strive to ensure that the rights of women are respected, that access to education is available for all and that violence against women is eliminated – in law and in practice. The S&Ds also want to see the empowerment of women lead to greater participation in the political life of their communities.

Young people

Empowering young people means investing in people by creating an environment where they can achieve their potential. Empowered and educated young people are vital for the future of their communities – and for the entire world. We believe that with co-ordinated action between African and European partners, young Africans can make the difference in tackling global, regional and local challenges. We are convinced that creating opportunities for young Africans is crucial: they have an enormous potential to shape their societies, foster democracy and the rule of law, promote human rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as finding innovative solutions to the issues they face. We call for free high-quality education, investment in skills and improving employment opportunities.

Education

Education is vital for building better futures and we have launched an initiative focused on supporting proper education for young generations missing out on schooling through conflicts and humanitarian crises. We are working together with the United Nations, other EU institutions, and civil-society organisations at a European and global level to create political support and solid financial backing for international projects in this field. Through our #Educa initiative, we want to offer future generations access to appropriate education in order to help them build more peaceful and responsible societies.
