2026 Agenda Sessions

The Sahel: spark of a revolution in African mining partnerships?

In the Sahel, military-led governments are recalibrating their approach to the mining sector. New partnership models are emerging, with greater emphasis on fiscal contributions, local participation and domestic value retention. While this transition has prompted complex negotiations with operators, some countries have engaged in structured dialogue to align mining frameworks with evolving national priorities. 

Similar approaches are now being considered across the region, with implications for how mining partnerships may evolve more broadly across Africa.
