Here’s an update as we wrap up a two-week mission in Africa, concluding key discussions at Mining Indaba and reflecting on progress in the World Bank’s mining program, alongside IFC and MIGA.

Three key takeaways from this mission:

  1. Strong Partnerships – African governments must collaborate on trade, regulation, and infrastructure, while ensuring strategic, well-negotiated engagements with the private sector.
  2. Africa’s Global Role – Africa’s vast mineral wealth is critical for the energy transition, and global partners must engage in ways that make mining a driver of sustainable development.
  3. Inclusive Growth – The mining sector and its adjacent value chains must benefit local communities and the countries where resources are found.
