Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>A high-level presentation on the European Union\u2019s (EU) AfricaMaVal initiative and related efforts to establish sustainable critical raw material value chains in Africa will be delivered at the upcoming Critical Minerals Africa (CMA) 2023 summit. Led by Roberto Cecutti, Head of Trade and Economics, EU Delegation to South Africa and Sodhie Naicker, Managing Director of DMT and Kai Batla and Consortium Partner in AfricaMaVal, the presentation is one of CMA 2023\u2019s several, serving to promote sustainable partnerships, policies and projects in raw materials and strengthen global critical mineral supply chains.<\/p>\n

The AfricaMaVal project \u2013 \u201cBuilding EU-Africa Partnerships on the Sustainable Raw Materials Value Chain\u201d \u2013 aims to ensure responsible mineral sourcing by European countries, while fostering sustainable development and ESG practices across the African continent. The project targets 10 case studies in Morocco, Senegal, Gabon, the DRC, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa and Madagascar, with a view to evaluating their respective mining and refining potential and strengthening their existing links to European partners.<\/p>\n

Launched in June 2022 and set to run through November 2025, the AfricaMaVal initiative comes as Europe takes a mounting interest in Africa\u2019s critical minerals as an alternative supply to China and Russia. The EU has classified rare earth minerals as critical to delivering its flagship Green Deal and digital transition, which targets carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n

The presentation aligns closely with the broader theme of CMA 2023 \u2013 Establishing the Critical Minerals Value Chain of the Future in Africa \u2013 which aims to position the continent as a global hub for sustainable mineral exploration, processing, technologies and trade.<\/p>\n

The Critical Minerals Africa 2023 summit on October 17-19 serves to position Africa as the primary investment destination for critical minerals. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week 2023 conference on October 16-20, offering delegates access to the full scope of energy, mining and finance leaders in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
