While global markets fixate on what lies beneath African soil, the real transformation happens when we invest in the people who work with these resources. Across the continent, women artisanal miners account for nearly half the workforce yet face systemic barriers to ownership and fair compensation. AGJEC and AMREC-PARC are changing this narrative by creating platforms where: Women miners access international buyers directly Vocational training turns young workers into certified professionals Ethical certification ensures profits return to communities Support the hands that shape Africa's mineral future. #MineralsWithPurpose #AMDC #AMDCMedia #Mining #ValueAddition

Africa’s Mining Sector in the Age of Green Energy Transition – What’s Next? The 3rd African Forum on Mining is around the corner, and it’s time to reflect on Africa’s progress in leveraging critical minerals for sustainable development! Key Perspectives from the 2nd Forum: ✅ Africa holds 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, a game-changer for the global green transition. ✅ The demand for critical minerals (cobalt, lithium, nickel, REEs) is set to rise 5x by 2030. ✅ Africa must shift from being a raw material exporter to leading in value addition, battery production, and EV supply chains. 📌 What’s next? The 3rd African Forum on Mining will address: 🔹 The ratification of the AMDC Statute to accelerate Africa’s mineral governance agenda. 🔹 Strategies for regional cooperation and policy harmonization in green minerals development. 🔹 Scaling up investment in local mineral processing, refining, and manufacturing. 🔹 Strengthening intra-African trade through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
