Windhoek Dialogue

Democracy in Africa and the Windhoek Dialogue:
An initiative of the EPP-ED Group,
supported by the Robert Schuman and the Konrad Adenauer Foundations
The Windhoek Dialogue is the EPP-ED Group's African policy initiative, launched in March 1996, in Windhoek, the Capital of Namibia, with five African parties coming from anglophone countries in Southern and East Africa.
The idea behind the Windhoek Dialogue was to develop a network for co-operation, not only between the EPP-ED Group and its African partners, but also among the African political parties themselves. Thus to create a forum where like-minded African parties and Members of the EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament could meet and exchange ideas and experiences on democratic development and co-operation...
