Abstract: Abstract African agency is a complex multi-aspect phenomenon. It evolves with time and within the framework of interaction between Africa and its international partners, one of which is the EU. Struggling with numerous challenges, African agency strengthens as role of Africa on the global stage grows. Africa still encounters structural constraints because of global economic and political inequalities. However, it strives to increase its representation and role in the institutions and forums of the global governance. The article attempts to give an overview of the evolution of African agency in its current relations with the European Union, on political, economic and social levels. It also analyses prospects of Africa projecting its agency to find new, better place in the structure of the global governance and internal/external factors affecting this process.
