Compact with Africa and German economic engagement in Africa

Position paper

The African continent has been high on the agenda of German economic, foreign and development policy for several years now. This includes efforts to initiate economic reform measures in selected African countries and thus mobilise private investment by actors from the global North (including German companies). This is where the Compact with Africa (CwA) comes in - an initiative launched in 2017 under the German G20 presidency to further develop structural framework conditions and promote foreign direct investment in Compact countries.
