Interview with Lettie Tembo Longwe "Africa Think Tank Summit 2018"

The EU and Africa aim to put their cooperation on a new footing. Thus, the EU Commission proposed in March 2020 close future relations based on five partnerships: 1) for green transition and energy access; 2) for digital transformation; 3) for sustainable growth and jobs; 4) for peace and governance; and 5) on migration and mobility. Hopefully, both sides can discuss and adopt the strategy at the next EU-Africa-Summit. The present study deals precisely with the third aspect, i.e. ec ...

L’actualité pétrolière très chargée de ces derniers mois a mis sur le devant de la scène une entité appelée OPEP+. Ce nom est aujourd’hui régulièrement cité par un grand nombre de médias dans des commentaires et analyses sur l’évolution du marché pétrolier mondial et des prix du pétrole. Il faut souligner d’emblée que l’OPEP+ n’est pas, comme on pourrait le croire, une organisation. L’OPEP (Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole), elle, est une véritable organisation avec un ...

The ongoing war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has resulted in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in a decade. The escalating conflict has led to the death and displacement of thousands of civilians, raised ethnic tensions in Ethiopia, and caused a food crisis that could lead to widespread famine. Much can be said about this conflict—how it revolves around models of governance and conflicting visions of self-determination, and how its impact will be felt across the region. Here ...

L’objet de ce document est d’effectuer le diagnostic stratégique de l’émergence de l’Afrique du Sud. Ce diagnostic de l’économie sud-africaine a été effectué en s’appuyant sur la théorie de l’émergence économique de Moubarack Lô (2017). Trois indices sont associés à cette théorie, correspondant, chacun, aux dimensions de l’émergence globale. L’Indice synthétique de l’Emergence économique (ISEME) mesure le niveau d’émergence économique atteint par un pays. L’indice composite des Levi ...

De toutes les régions africaines, le Maghreb est de loin la région la moins intégrée, tant sur le plan politique qu’économique. Pourtant, elle réunit les éléments nécessaires pour créer un ensemble régional ; la proximité géographique, l’interdépendance économique et sociale et l’homogénéité cognitive, plus spécifiquement les similitudes des valeurs. Cette étude traite de la dynamique maghrébine durant l’année 2020, à travers l’analyse des enjeux et de leurs conséquences sur les per ...

Pan-Africanism is a dream that never dies. A project of African politicians, united in a vision, as old as the settled Africa, which liberated itself from the shackles of colonialism: Africa for Africans, Afro Americans, or the dark skinned people of Cuba, or Haiti, African immigrants in Paris, or Rome, in step to rekindle hope, freedom, equality, cultural revival, to build a future, construct the foundations of a borderless continent, an Africa without tribal struggles, wars, or po ...

As decarbonization is a long-term process and requires significant investments, specific financial and non- financial measures will need to be implemented, both in the short and long term, to facilitate this transition. In Part II of Morocco’s decarbonization pathway Policy Brief series, an update of the decarbonization scenarios was presented. It revealed that the Increased Ambition and Green Development scenarios achieve higher decarbonization targets than current policy. It showe ...
