As Africa continues to grow rapidly, its countries are becoming increasingly interconnected with each other economically and institutionally, as well as connected with the rest of the world.

We believe Africa can take advantage of this opportunity and overcome the accompanying challenge by:

2) Collaborating with the rest of the world in a mutually-beneficial manner to gain access to valuable resources as part of a strategy of self-determined growth.
We envision that a vibrant Africa powered from within will maximize the value of its collaboration with the rest of the world, and that this will result in the greatest possible mutual benefit for all.
