Opening session of the Africa’s Green Minerals Workshops

The workshops form part of UNECA’s program on “Harnessing Green Minerals, the AfCFTA, Regional Value Chains and Domestic Resource Mobilization for Accelerated Inclusive and Sustainable Industrialization in Africa”. The program combines policy research, practical tools, and engagement with governments and partners to help African countries use their mineral resources for value addition, regional production, jobs, and greater economic opportunity. Over these three days, the program will present emerging findings and draft policy guidance to governments, experts, practitioners, policymakers, academia, civil society, the private sector, and other stakeholders, who can review, provide feedback, test them, and eventually use them.
