Title: Leveraging Critical Minerals to Catalyze Inclusive Broad-based Development in Africa

Authors: Eugene N Nforngwa, Philip Kilonzo, Mithika Mwenda

Takeaways:

⛏ Africa holds a significant share of the world’s critical mineral resources and has the potential to play a vital role in the global supply chain for clean energy technologies.

⛏However, the continent faces challenges in effectively capitalising on its critical mineral resources, including limited infrastructure, inadequate financing, weak governance frameworks, and geopolitical risks.

⛏There is an urgent need to align Africa's critical minerals potential with its broader sustainable development goals, and stakeholders should focus on enhancing policy-making processes and promoting people-centred approaches in investments in the transitional minerals subsector.

⛏This briefing paper aims to guide policymakers, industry stakeholders, and civil society actors in harnessing Africa’s critical minerals to benefit all its people.
