Understanding one of Africa’s most consequential global relationships.
China-Africa relations are one of API’s established areas of expertise. Through research, publications, dialogue and its China-Africa Center, the Institute examines the political, economic, development and strategic dimensions of the relationship.
Our work helps decision-makers understand opportunities, risks and changing dynamics in China-Africa cooperation.
The programme translates a broad policy question into a structured set of research and engagement priorities, giving decision-makers clear entry points into API’s expertise.
API connects research with dialogue, capacity development and advisory support so policy knowledge can move beyond publication into practical institutional decision-making.
