GEOCULTURAL COLLABORATION OF AFRICA-BRAZIL AND MUTUAL DEVELOPMENT UNDER BRICS

Abstract

Geocultural synergies and complementarities among BRICS member states in general and Brazil & African countries are focusing on the BRICS role in Africa‟s development. It defines how an integrated partnership between the BRICS nations and Africa can lead to sustainable economic development by Geocultural regional integration. The industrialisation projects should achieve a mutually beneficial outcome for BRICS and the Africa continent. Africa‟s growth rate of the past decade shows the enormous potential nurturing the immense consumer base. The export opportunities will be immense once they reach a certain level of development. The growth rate that Africa has attained is more than the result of the resource boom and is promising diverse long-term growth amongst these countries. These synergies have enhanced by recent BRICS expansions to 11 members, including Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria, and Uganda, under Brazil‟s 2025 presidency. NDB has approved “$40 billion over 120 projects, including $7 billion in Brazilian models for African renewables and agro-hubs”. The Rio Declaration drives Brazil-Africa trade surges (such as $169 billion in agriculture exports) toward sustainable mutual development by giving priority to AfCFTA integration, local currency commerce (which lowers costs by 5%), and Global South reforms. This dynamic collaboration uses a common anti-colonial past to promote fair development in a multipolar globe.
