A more prosperous Africa is straightforwardly good for Britain – and yet Africa accounts for just 2.5 per cent of the UK’s trade. South Africa and Nigeria, the continent’s two largest economies, make up 60 per cent of the entire UK-Africa trade relationship. Our investments lag well behind those of France and the United States. It is true that where Britain has idled, other less than democratic powers have stepped in.

The UK must now seize the initiative. Last year’s Africa Investment Summit, which brought together 14 African leaders in London, marked an important step in the right direction. The COVID-19 pandemic should spur us further into action, as African economies look to bounce back strongly. With foreign and development policy now managed under one roof, I hoped to see a greater emphasis on using the UK aid budget to support this kind of infrastructural development, alongside valuable social projects to promote gender equality, education, democracy and other core values.
