Africa, which holds around 30% of the world\u2019s mineral reserves and 20% of global mineral wealth, finds itself at the heart of this race to acquire natural resources. The rush for African minerals is in full throttle!<\/p>\n<p>This situation is not new for the continent, which has experienced similar mineral rushes in the past. Unfortunately, mineral wealth has often translated into poverty, corruption, rights violations and\u00a0 environmental damage for African populations and economies.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore essential to ask what needs to be done to ensure that this time African states and citizens truly benefit from the minerals they provide the world? What needs to be done to ensure justice and equity for African populations in the \u201cjust energy transition\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>To contribute to responding to these questions, STRATEGIES!, a consultancy which has been supporting governments, development actors and private companies on management and governance\u00a0 issues in Africa for over 30 years, is organizing a webinar on the theme:
