2024 Agenda | 5-8 February 2024

Balancing Supply and Security

Are international mineral partnerships providing equal value to producers?

Minerals have become a form of political capital on the global stage. What role does access to a secure mineral supply have?
With a lack of contextual understanding & consultation of continental stakeholders, is the Western approach to mineral partnerships patronising to Africa? Does this push producers to alternate sources?
Despite the promise of win-win relationships from alternative sources, how much value have these partnerships actually provided to the continent?
How can prospective partners promote Africa’s development, through localisation and contribute to the integration of producer countries into the value chain?
