Virtual CSO-LA consultation on EU regional programme for Sub-Saharan Africa

Policy dialogue and consultation with civil society and local authorities are an important part of the European Union approach to international partnerships. As country, regional and thematic multi-annual indicative programmes are being developed to support EU international cooperation worldwide in the period 2021-2027, it is crucial to get input from civil society and local authority partners and stakeholders.

To this end the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Directorate-General for International Partnership of the European Commission (DG INTPA), in collaboration with the Policy Forum on Development will be hosting a virtual meeting on the future EU regional programme for Sub-Saharan Africa on 23 March at 13-16h CET. The webinar will provide an opportunity to discuss priorities and objectives of this programme within the context of the evolving partnership between Africa and Europe.
