In a co-development perspective, AfricaMaVal project aims to develop an EU-Africa partnership ensuring a responsible sourcing of mineral resources for the European industry while granting a sustainable local co-development in the best Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) conditions and leading to a long-terms business environment for European and African companies.
The event focuses on ESG perspectives in the African mining sector and highlights potential European engagement in critical raw materials (CRM) through selected project factsheets and ASM country profiles. It further includes ECRM supply chain analyses considering bottlenecks and opportunities, and explores the potential of African countries such as South Africa and Tanzania.
In addition to that, it presents a deep dive into Africa’s secondary raw materials sector and provides an overview of funding perspectives for ECRM projects. The event concludes with an outlook on continuing the work within the new framework of EIT’s Critical Raw Materials Facilities and the launch of PanAfGeo+.
