The German Africa Foundation mourns the death of Ruth Weiss, who received the Foundation’s Honorary Award in 2019. With her passing, German-African cooperation has lost an extraordinary personality whose life’s work and commitment have made a lasting impact on the lives of people in Africa and Europe for decades.

In a time of profound geopolitical upheaval— such as the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the growing geopolitical influence of the BRICS states, and escalating trade conflicts— Germany and Europe are facing major security and economic policy challenges.

Yearbook of the German Africa Foundation 2023/2024 with numerous exciting articles on topics on which we have been working since the second half of 2023 and which reflect current events in Africa policy. For example, you will find articles on skilled labour migration, the reform of international financial institutions and the elections in Senegal and the D.R. Congo. In addition to other economic topics such as digitalisation and youth employment, there are also interviews and articles on media and culture.
