Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Development Alexander De Croo signed today a new five-year cooperation programme with the Republic of Guinea. Belgium and Guinea will work together in the coming five years on strengthening entrepreneurship, women's rights and education. After successfully containing the Ebola crisis, Guinea became a partner of the Belgian Development Cooperation in 2015. Minister De Croo formalized the new collaboration with the Guinean Minister for Cooperation and African Integration, Dr Diené Keita. After the Ebola crisis, Guinea became in 2015 a new partner country of the Belgian Development Cooperation. The first cooperation agreement worth 15 million euro, started in 2016 and will end in 2019. Alexander De Croo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Development: “This new cooperation agreement with Guinea completely reflects the new approach of the Belgian Development Cooperation. By strengthening the economic fabric and giving more chances to women, we are making sure that Guinea can gradually stand on its own two feet over the medium term. This must be the objective of any of Belgium's interventions.”
