Closed-Door Strategic Dialogue
(By Invitation Only)
This high-level roundtable is a continental instrument of influence and a declaration that Africa will no longer be a passive supplier of raw materials but a co-architect of the new global mineral economy.
The dialogue will focus on four core imperatives:
Mineral Value Addition
Ensuring Africa moves decisively up the value chain through beneficiation, processing, and local manufacturing.
Exploration and Data Sovereignty
Accelerating the rollout of the African Minerals and Energy Resources Classification and Management System (AMREC) and Pan-African Resource Reporting Code (PARC).
Financing Africa’s Mineral Future
Mobilizing large-scale, Africa-led investment.
Critical Minerals Security
Advancing a coherent African strategy to secure, steward, and negotiate its vast deposits of critical and strategic minerals.
