Why Barcelona, Spain?

Barcelona is chosen for aef 2024 due to its vibrant atmosphere and strategic location as the European country closest to Africa. Spain's government prioritizes Africa politically and strategically, evident in collaborations and agreements focusing on Northern Africa,  actively participating in the AfDB and a $2 billion investment commitment to South Africa's energy transition.
Barcelona's allure adds excitement, making it the ideal host city for this significant event.
