Across Africa, the use of tax incentives in the mining sector remains widespread. However, evidence suggests many of these incentives are poorly designed, overly generous, and not well aligned with development goals. In a sector where investment decisions are often driven by factors such as deposit quality, infrastructure, and political stability, tax incentives alone play a more limited role than traditionally assumed and are causing unnecessary revenue losses.

This webinar will provide a platform for dialogue on how African countries can adopt more effective, transparent, and development-oriented mining tax incentive frameworks. Drawing on recent analysis and examples from across the continent, the event will explore options for reform, regional coordination, and stronger alignment with the Africa Mining Vision. It is designed for government officials, policy-makers, and stakeholders working to strengthen fiscal governance and promote sustainable development through the mining sector.
