Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Developing the relations and cooperation with the African Continent is one of the basic principles of Turkey multi-dimensional foreign policy. The article considers a comprehensive Turkey's strategy for Africa in terms of both priorities and geographic scope. Türkiye and Africa have agreed to implement projects in various fields along with the five-year schedule programme "The 2015-2019 Joint Implementation Plan". In this context, projects developed according to the priorities of the African countries, in the fields of trade and investment, peace and security, education and culture, youth empowerment and technology transfer, rural economy and agriculture, energy and transportation have been implemented. This article also provides an excellent opportunity to highlight the growing socioeconomic dynamism of Africa-Turkey cooperation based on the "win-win" principle. Furthermore, it demonstrates Africa's emerging role as a dynamic player in the global business landscape. The choice of this theme demonstrates the African Union's commitment to the Africa-Turkey Cooperation in shaping an economically progressive future for the peoples of Africa and Turkey. In addition, the paper analyses and discusses the main economic, political, and strategic motivations, as well as some of the perceptions and current challenges this Implementation Plan faces.
