Key points

  • The new agreement must address the upcoming expiry of the existing Cotonou Agreement in February 2020.
  • A strong parliamentary dimension, including a Joint Parliamentary Assembly, is considered a non-negotiable requirement for democratic oversight.
  • The partnership should evolve from a donor-recipient relationship into one based on equal footing and mutual support.
  • The agreement must explicitly include protections for human rights, gender equality, and the fight against discrimination.
