At the G8 Summit in Kananaskis (Canada) in 2002, the G8 adopted the Africa Action Plan in support of the ongoing African reform process. It was the African nations themselves that set out this reform agenda in the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), a pan-African socioeconomic programme adopted in 2001.

The G8 Africa Action Plan laid the foundation for a strong partnership between the G8 and the African nations.

GIZ (former GTZ) supports the German Development Ministry (BMZ) and the Federal Foreign Office in implementing the G8 Africa Action Plan by providing strategic advisory services, especially prior to and during the G8 Summit. During the German G8 presidency in 2007, GIZ (former GTZ) was involved in activities focusing on Africa as a key issue. In addition, GIZ (former GTZ) implements programmes and projects in the subject areas of the Africa Action Plan.
