Tuscany relaunches activities in Africa

Tuscany relaunches its cooperation activity in Eastern and Subsaharan Africa. It will do so starting from the Ivory Coast and in particular from the “Africa-Europe Forum of local and regional governments” - the first edition of which was held last week in Abidjan before the Africa-Europe Summit. “Our effort in Africa has been ongoing for many years and we will relaunch it in 2018 with programmes focusing on local development, support towards decentralisation, public health in key countries of the African continent such as Burkina Faso, Senegal, Niger, Mali, and Ethiopia” as underlined by the Deputy Governor of Tuscany, Monica Barni at the Forum. Over the course of the mission in Africa, Barni met with the new Italian Ambassador to the Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, and Liberia with whom a possible interventions by Tuscany for economic cooperation and development with funds from the EU, will promote through the summit and which will reserve guarantees on private investments on the one hand, and support decentralization and the improvement of local authorities on the other.
