Ukȧmȧ Synthesis Paper On Green Industrialization: Developing a Shared Agenda Between Africa And Europe

In order to effectively promote green industrialization and development in both the European Union and Africa, it is crucial to have a nuanced understanding of the critical issues and differences with a view to establishing a common agenda to tackle them. First, we provide key information on the state of the development of the sectors/technologies analysed in the three countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Namibia), touching on their maturity, business models, regulatory framework and potential for job creation. Second, we identify fundamental conflicts affecting the EU-Africa relationship. Based on this assessment, we propose five priority areas for dialogue to align the interests of African and European governments, civil society, and business sector organisations.
