Lionel Jospin, ancien Premier ministre français décédé le 22 mars 2026 à Paris, a tenté de normaliser les relations entre la France et l'Afrique pendant son mandat de 1997 à 2002. Son objectif était d'établir de nouveaux partenariats et de s'éloigner du clientélisme passé. Malgré son discours de Dakar en 1997 prônant une coopération améliorée et une non-ingérence, la cohabitation avec le président Jacques Chirac a rendu cette mission complexe. Un exemple est la gestion du coup d'État en Côte d'Ivoire en 1999, où des divergences de vues ont conduit à une inaction. Selon Hubert Védrine, Jospin souhaitait une politique étrangère globale et une approche plus "normale" des relations avec l'Afrique.
