Business Africa
This week on Business Africa with host Nyasha K Mutizwa, we discuss a proposed true and fair partnership between Europe and Africa

The package builds on the commitments taken during the African Union – European Union Summit of last year in Abidjan where the two continents agreed to strengthen their partnership. The Alliance will lead to the creation of up to 10 million jobs in Africa in the next 5 years alone.
