The growing trend in recent years for Türkiye to strengthen its cooperation with African countries, and the increasing need for African nations to diversify their partners, underline the importance of studying relations between Türkiye and Africa. Indeed, despite these significant advances, academic research dedicated to African issues remains limited. Consequently, an in-depth analysis of the dynamics of bilateral ties between Türkiye and Africa is needed to better understand the opportunities and challenges of this growing cooperation. This article undertakes an analysis of specific cooperation projects between Türkiye and Africa, aiming to provide an innovative perspective on the opportunities and challenges of this evolving collaboration. By examining these projects in detail, we seek to highlight successes as well as shortcomings in order to identify best practices and opportunities for improvement. Also, a methodical assessment of the social, economic, and environmental impacts of these initiatives is undertaken. In addition, this article proposes a forward-looking exploration of emerging areas where cooperation between Türkiye and Africa could be intensified in the future. By identifying these areas of potential growth, we aim to guide policymakers and stakeholders towards more strategic and beneficial initiatives for Africa's sustainable development. Such a study would not only enlighten policymakers and economic players on the economic, political, and social implications of these relations, but also fill the current gaps in academic knowledge on Türkiye-Africa interactions.
