COVID-19 pandemic leaves Germany s Africa policy in limbo Germany s Africa policy was meant to promote investment and create prosperity for Africans. Then came COVID-19, and the economy plummeted. Now two key architects of the policy are leaving. The Germany-Africa Summit which has been held each year since 2017 did not take place in 2020 An important date was missing from German Chancellor Angela Merkel s calendar last year  the annual summit with African Heads of States and Germany s business elites. The meeting has become a routine in Berlin since 2017. German companies would not have been able to make many investment commitments anyway. The coronavirus pandemic is having a significant impact in Africa due to lockdowns in almost all countries and the consequences of the measures we have taken to combat the pandemic, said Günter Nooke, Merkel s Africa representative.
