More Than Humanitarianism: A Strategic U.S. Approach Toward Africa

Strategic U.S. policy meets Africa's growing significance.

If you're interested in the intersecting paths of humanitarian efforts and strategic interests, this report provides a compelling perspective on how America's approach towards Africa can evolve. It's a thought-provoking read that argues for a partnership beyond charity, suggesting a more multifaceted relationship that benefits both the U.S. and African nations equally.

Africa's growing importance is reflected in the intensifying competition with China and other countries for both access to African resources and influence in this region. A more comprehensive U.S. policy toward Africa is needed, the report states, and it lays out recommendations for policymakers to craft that policy. Ideally, readers will take away two enduring impressions from this report. First, Americans must pause and reflect on how Africa has become a region of growing vital importance to U.S. national interests. It is outdated and counterproductive to assume that Africa is simply the object of humanitarian concerns or a charity cause. The need for a broader approach exists even while the United States should and does stand ready to answer Africa's urgent humanitarian needs. Nevertheless, steadily in recent years, and with an accelerating pace post-9/11, other newly emergent U.S. stakes in Africa have become energy, terror, and HIV/AIDS.
