Brussels Hosts the Third Edition of the Africa Political Outlook

The Africa Political Outlook returns for its third edition themed "New South, Old World" on March 25-26, 2025, at The Hotel in Brussels. This Summit will gather key political, economic, diplomatic, and industrial leaders to discuss the crisis of multilateralism, remilitarization of major powers, international development, and Europe-Africa partnership priorities.
In a global context of shifting international balances, Africa must find its own path to maintain its transformation trajectory

This year's edition takes place in a global context of accelerating international rebalancing. The progressive disengagement of major powers from development and solidarity investment goals, the return of militarism and isolationism, rising geopolitical tensions, and the weakening of multilateral mechanisms necessitate a reinvention of North-South relations. "The multilateralism we knew belongs to the past. Africa is challenged to find its own way, new models, its own voice as well, to maintain its emergence trajectory, continue to weigh in and assert itself in a sovereign and decisive manner in the new international order," emphasizes Adebissi Djogan, Founder and Executive Director of the Africa Political Outlook.

The APO: A Laboratory for Dialogue-Action, Hybrid Coalitions, and Decision-Making

This year's edition will revolve around a dynamic format combining dialogue-action, targeted discussions, and concrete commitments. March 25 will be dedicated to the Summit, while March 26 will gather, in a closed format, about thirty targeted leaders to explore transformation challenges and alternative economic partnerships in a global context of reduced international resources for development financing. Among the highlights of the agenda:

* A high-level dialogue between government representatives and multilateral institutions on the future of North-South relations and the adaptation of international organizations to new dynamics.
* A strategic conversation on the new priorities of the European Commission and the African Union, bringing together representatives from both institutions.
* The future of development aid and the evolving role of agencies such as the French Development Agency, GIZ, and ENABEL.
* A focus on strategic industries, including artificial intelligence, energy, critical minerals, and new African value chains.
* An in-depth look at the conflict in the DRC, with the participation of actors directly involved in stabilization and mediation processes.
* The rise of the "Global South" in the context of the expansion of BRICS+, and its growing influence on global economy and governance.
