Germany in Africa

The countries of sub-Saharan Africa have made significant progress in many areas over the past few years. Economic growth in most of these African states is above the international average, democratic elections have become the norm at all levels, rule-of-law principles are increasingly respected, and African countries now view themselves as bearing the prime responsibility for the development of their continent. Nonetheless, significant challenges remain, also for Germany's Africa policy.

Africa is a special focus of German foreign policy. Germany's policy towards Africa is value-based; its principles are respect for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law and peaceful resolution of conflicts.
