The countries of Africa have a beckoning opportunity to collectively leverage its critical minerals endowments, which require energy to turn to account. To get best advantage, the countries of Africa need to act together. They must act credibly and they must act immediately to seize the timely opportunity to use the world’s energy transition to platform the mining and beneficiation of critical minerals.

Credit for this crucial message must go to the Boston Consulting Group, which shared two studies that outline the opportunity for Southern Africa in particular to move beyond traditional extraction models and to capture significantly greater value across the entire mining-to-manufacturing value chain. This opportunity to transform potential into tangible economic benefit must not be lost, so let’s do it.
