520			_aABSTRACT This study examined whether the EU kept its pledge to treat Africa as an equal partner in its interactions. The Joint African-EU strategy (JAES 2007) intended to depart from the donor-recipient mentality that underpinned earlier interactions as evidenced by various treaties. This study examines the JAES's success in achieving this goal. Secondary sources were used to conduct this investigation. The study conceptualizes equality principle as a circumstance where the stronger counterpart does not push their will on the weaker counterpart. Hence, it contends that although historically there has been a disparity in relations between the EU and Africa, this is mostly because of the EU's continued colonial attitudes of dominance and exploitation as well as structural disparities between the two. However, the EU through the Joint Africa-EU Strategy has shown its willingness to reset it relationship with Africa as one of equal partners by respecting ownership and jointly agreeing on what holds in the partnership especially on issues of peace and security and democratic governance and human rights. Keywords: African Union, Equality, European Union, JAES, Partnership
