Subject: IPATC Policy Brief

 

18 June 2019

Dear Partner,

 

Greetings from the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPATC), University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Please find attached an English and French version of IPATC's latest policy brief, Revisiting the Georgetown Agreement: Comparative Region Building in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific, just published in May 2019.

The policy brief emanates from a two-day High-Level Consultation which took place in Barbados on 26 and 27 March 2019. The event was hosted by the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) Secretariat in Brussels, Belgium; the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in Georgetown, Guyana; and the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation at the University of Johannesburg, in collaboration with the Shridath Ramphal Centre at the University of the West Indies (UWI).

The Consultation was attended by 35 diplomats, scholars, and civil society actors across the three regions, and covered five broad thematic areas: Region-Building in the Caribbean; Comparative Regionalism: the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU); Regionalism in West, East, and Southern Africa; Regionalism in the Pacific; and Regionalism and the Future of ACP-EU Relations.

The engagement had three key objectives: to contribute to region-building efforts in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific; to revisit the 1975 Georgetown Agreement; and to examine the post-Cotonou negotiations.

We hope that you will find the policy brief of value, and that you will assist us by disseminating further through your networks.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Adekeye Adebajo

Prof. Adekeye Adebajo, Director

Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation

University of Johannesburg.
