EU-Africa: Global Gateway Investment Package – Strategic Corridors

Published: Global Gateway, February 2022

In the context of the 6th EU-AU Summit, Team Europe proposes to support quality connectivity infrastructure for smart, fair and affordable mobility and trade within Africa and in between Africa and Europe.

The Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package will support the creation of strategic, sustainable and secure transport corridors and support value chains, services and jobs that can benefit industries in both Africa and Europe.

The Strategic Corridors underpin the territorial organisation – rural and urban – through reliable networks and services.

The investment package will develop multi-country infrastructure by supporting investment in sustainable, efficient, and safe connectivity between both continents and updating and harmonising regulatory frameworks.

Ambition by 2030: Integrate the African and European multimodal transport networks in line with the regional and continental frameworks and tailor these networks to the economic potential of an African Continental Free Trade Area.
