The consortium, coordinated by the BRGM, is based on experienced organizations and networks from Africa and Europe deeply involved in the field of raw materials.
Secure the access to raw materials represents a critical issue for European ambition to deliver the Green Deal and perform the energy and digital twin transition.
As future demand of primary critical raw materials will continue to be largely met by importations, the EU needs to diversify its supply chain and engage strategic partnerships with resources-rich third countries, especially extracting and processing such as African countries.
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.
Our forum aims to:
Share relevant knowledge on sustainable raw materials investments, with its repository of key reports and analysis of the raw materials sector in Africa.
Bring off takers and project promoters together, thanks to the chat functionality and the possibility to create thematic discussion groups.
Be an opportunity for Funding Parties to review and assess investment projects, with the possibility to access the presentation of pre-selected investment projects.
Our 10 in-depth case studies across several African countries offer a comprehensive mapping of the minerals present in each country, along with insights into the economic and political context and the challenges faced.
The series explores the collaboration between Africa and Europe in building sustainable and equitable mining practices. Discover how geopolitics, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, and financing opportunities are vital to secure critical raw materials sustainably.
To build such partnership in a sustainable manner, the AfricaMaVal project relies on 9 Work Packages (WP). Discover their respective results in the reports publicly available below.
This project has received funding from the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA)
