Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Enhancing local value – developing Africa’s infrastructure to advance the mineral chain

•    In what ways do current infrastructure limitations across the continent limit investment into mining projects? Is enough being done at the policy level to address this?
•    What are the critical transport and energy investments needed for Southern African producers to fully exploit their minerals?
•    How can investment initiatives, such as the Lobito Corridor, boost access to new mining opportunities, whilst also catalysing both mineral and economic growth?
•    How can African institutions serve as the proactive drivers for similar initiatives for developing viable investment corridors across the continent?
