Abstract
Bridging the Atlantic is a descriptive
study of Brazil's involvement with counterparts in
Sub-Saharan Africa through knowledge exchange, trade, and
investments. The objective of the study is to understand
these relations better with the intent to forge concrete and
mutually beneficial partnerships between Brazil and
Sub-Saharan Africa. Brazil and Sub-Saharan Africa are
natural partners, with at one point a shared geography and
later a shared history. Since the turn of the twentieth
century, Africa has become one of the major fronts of
Brazil's international agenda. Africa is rapidly
changing and Brazil has expressed growing interest in
supporting and taking part in African development. The study
includes a narrative of the shared history between Brazil
and Africa, as well as a description of Brazilian foreign
direct investment and trade with Africa. It ends with
recommendations made by the World Bank to strengthen the
cooperation between Brazil and Sub-Saharan Africa.
