Germany has unveiled a plan for Africa that aims to increase trade and development as part of a larger effort to curb migrant flows to Europe.
A 33-page blueprint, presented on Wednesday (18 January) in Berlin by Germany’s development minister Gerd Muller, covers areas from energy to tax evasion and market access.
Muller said on his website that a „whole new dimension of cooperation with Africa“ was needed and that Germany was ready to support governments in Africa in the endeavour.
„Anyone who fights corruption, builds tax systems, invests in education and relies on gender equality can expect more support from us,“ he said.
He said fast-growing economies in Africa presented a host of opportunities for German businesses.
