APF was established in November 2003 in the wake of the Evian Summit as a way of broadening the existing high-level G8/NEPAD dialogue to encompass Africa's major bilateral and multilateral development partners.
The APF's mission is to strengthen partnership efforts in favour of Africa's development. The APF has become a key forum at a senior political level for discussing and monitoring policy issues, strategies and priorities in support of Africa's development.
Its members; Africa, G8, OECD and other development partners all work together as equals in the forum – and ensure synergies and coherence with other international fora. The APF meets twice each year and is Co-Chaired on an alternating basis by representatives of the African Union and NEPAD, and by G8 and non-G8 OECD Member countries.
