Скачать или смотреть Realigning German International Cooperation: Perspectives from Ghana and Senegal

Background context
As Germany takes on its new role as the world's largest bilateral donor and discussions about reshaping international cooperation gain momentum, it is crucial to understand diverse African perspectives for fostering effective partnerships. To address this, APRI is organizing a webinar that will showcase timely analyses and concise policy options for reshaping bilateral cooperation between Germany and Ghana, and Germany and Senegal - three countries where recent democratic elections and changes of government open up potential opportunities for new modes of partnership.

This webinar provides a unique opportunity for policy-focused debate on the future of German international cooperation, featuring presentations from Senegalese scholars Dr. Sokhna Rosalie Ndiaye and Selly Ba, who authored an APRI paper on Senegal-Germany relations, and thought-leader Bright Simons, who wrote on Ghana-Germany relations.

This is followed by a panel discussion featuring representative, Dr. Bernhard Braune, of the BMZ’s (German Federal Ministry for Development Cooperation) Division 202 Sahel, West Africa I housing the Senegal desk and an audience Q&A session. The papers will be released following the event.
