Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Developing a fruitful and inclusive labour sector - policies, politics and possibilities

  • To what extent does labour issues/trade unions find articulation in African mining regimes and economic development policy frameworks?
  • Why does the existing policy not recognise the roles of social workforce partners, and how must that change to recognise them?
  • How do the aspirations of labour unions find expression in the countries’ policy designs on issues that affect workers?
  • Do the current low carbon energy transition ambitions across the continent hold the real possibility of a standardized mining workforce plan?
