The Association of Western European Parliamentarians for Action Against Apartheid (AWEPAA) was established in 1984 to help in the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. In 1988 the European Institute (AEI) was founded by the same initiators together with a small group of European and African individuals, with the aim of promoting European-African relations. In 1995 AWEPAA changed its mission to promote democracy, peace, human rights, and good governance in Southern Africa, and the name was changed to AWEPA.
