Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

The role of local capital and entrepreneurship in mining and industrialising Africa

  • What do studies by AfDB, UNCTAD, AMDC, BloombergNEF, and others indicate about the feasibility of linking minerals to industrialisation? What are the key success factors? 
  • Can increased participation of local capital and entrepreneurs in the mining sector drive transformative impacts? How so? 
  • How does the involvement of local capital compare to foreign investment in terms of contributing to sustainable development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? 
  • What challenges or obstacles limit the effective participation of local capital and entrepreneurs in Africa’s mineral value chains?
