Bridging the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa Strengthening Partnerships for Sustainable Development

The relationships between West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa are shaped by a wide range of political, economic, and security ties. Four contributions by early-career scholars and advanced researchers at the University of Nairobi explore key aspects of today’s South-South relations, from regional security cooperation and labor migration to renewable energy and peacebuilding. The publication by our partner CARPOputs African perspectives at the center and highlights the agency of African actors in their relations with the influential Gulf states.
