Phase 1: EU Expansion  

Brussels Office: Coming Soon – Brussels, Belgium  

This will serve as our EU policy and donor engagement hub to strengthen partnerships with EU institutions, foundations, and member states.

Why Brussels?

Brussels is the heart of EU decision-making. It hosts the European Commission, European Parliament, EEAS, and 2,000+ international organizations and NGOs.

A Brussels base gives AEIP direct access to policymakers, funders, and implementing partners positioning us as the key operational bridge between African institutions and EU policy and funding frameworks.
