The partnership agreement was signed on May 18, 2025, in Cairo by CAF President Patrice Motsepe and European Commissioner for International Partnerships Joseph Sikela.
Motsepe emphasized that this collaboration reflects the European Commission’s confidence in CAF’s development, governance, and transparency.
