Historically Historically AfAfricricanan countries countries and people have not benefited and people have not benefited sufficiently from Africa’s sufficiently from Africa’s mineral wealthmineral wealth

Africa has changed greatly, politically, socially and economically over the last decades

The youth of today rightly have much higher expectations in terms of:

- Jobs and opportunities- Governance, and- Development

Governments, business and civil society all have a role in ensuring these expectations are realised

Blessing or curse?

It is up to us

African Mining Vision

African Mining Vision

Transparent, equitable and optimal

exploitation of mineral resources to

underpin broad-based sustainable

growth and socio-economic

development

Optimizing knowledge and benefits of finite

mineral resources at all levels of mining and

for all minerals;

Harnessing the potential of small scale mining to improve livelihoods and integration into the rural and national economy;

Fostering sustainable development principles

based on environmentally and socially

responsible mining, which is safe and includes

communities and all other stakeholders;

Building human and institutional capacities

towards a knowledge economy that supports

innovation, research and development;

Developing a diversified and globally

competitive African mineral industry which

contributes to broad economic and social

growth through the creation of economic

linkages;

Fostering a transparent and accountable

mineral sector in which resource rents are

optimized and utilized to promote broad

economic and social development;

Promoting good governance of the mineral sector in which communities and citizens participate in mineral assets and in which there is equity in the distribution of benefits
