Africa holds significant quantities of the global reserves across iron, chromium, manganese, bauxite, copper, PGMs, phosphates, graphite and REEs, yet still exports mainly raw ores or concentrates. As clean energy rules reshape markets (the EU’s carbon border rules, the U.S. IRA battery requirements, and automakers’ clean supply commitments), there is a real opportunity to localize some segments of the value chain on the continent: smelt, refine, and turn minerals into battery precursors and other components. However, African countries need to improve the investment environment: reliable power, timely issuance of permits, fair access to rail and ports, and credible offtake.
In order to address the challenges and improve the investment environment, the African Union and its Partners (the AfDB, UNECA, ALSF etc.) developed a number of core mineral strategy documents viz; the Africa Mining Vision (AMV), the Africa Commodity Strategy (ACS) and the recently approved Africa Green Minerals Strategy (AGMS), the Banks Ten Year Strategy and the Four Cardinal Points especially provisions on value addition.
