    • Harnessing Africa’s Mineral Might: Experts Call for Knowledge-Led Governance

      Africa’s vast but largely untapped mineral reserves, estimated at more than a third of the global total, position the continent at the forefront of the global energy transition, geopolitical interests, and mineral-driven industrialisation and growth trajectory. The long list of minerals in Africa holding out the highest promise as critical elements for renewable energy and battery storage technologies, as well as advanced communications and consumer electronics, includes lithium, cobalt, copper, graphite, aluminium, platinum, niobium, rubidium, tantalum, tin, manganese, nickel, palladium, and rare earth elements. Now is the opportune time for African leaders to transform mining sector outcomes through intentional science diplomacy and knowledge-led Pan-African ideals.
