March 25-26, 2025 \u2013 The Hotel, Brussels<\/strong>
A third edition facing the challenges of a new world order<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the success of its previous editions, the Africa Political Outlook returns to Brussels on March 25-26, 2025, for its third edition. This must-attend event will bring together political, economic, diplomatic, and industrial decision-makers to discuss the major transformations reshaping international relations and the future of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key discussion topics:<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 Crisis of multilateralism and new international alliances
\ud83d\udd39 Remilitarization of major powers and its impact on global governance
\ud83d\udd39 Future of international development and alternative financing
\ud83d\udd39 Europe-Africa partnership strategies in the face of current challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africa at a crossroads: Rethinking governance and development models<\/strong>
In a context marked by major geopolitical reshaping, Africa must rethink its alliances and assert its leadership. The rise of isolationism, the return of militarism, and the weakening of multilateral mechanisms demand a reinvention of governance and financing models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Multilateralism as we have known it belongs to the past. Africa must chart its own path, find new models, and assert its sovereignty in the new international order.”<\/em>
\u2014 Ad\u00e9bissi Djogan, Founder and Executive Director of Africa Political Outlook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc March 26<\/strong>: Closed-door meeting with 30 leaders on financing and transformation models<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key highlights of the program:<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 High-level dialogue on the evolution of North-South relations and reform of multilateral institutions
\ud83d\udd39 Strategies of the EU and AU Commissions to redefine cooperation priorities
\ud83d\udd39 Future of development aid and the role of agencies like AFD, GIZ, and ENABEL
\ud83d\udd39 Strategic industries: artificial intelligence, energy, critical minerals, and African value chains
