The African Mining Vision (AMV) is a policy framework adopted by the African Union to ensure that Africa’s vast mineral resources drive sustainable development and economic transformation. It envisions a mining sector that is transparent, equitable, and environmentally responsible, contributing to industrialization, job creation, and poverty reduction. The AMV matters because it shifts Africa’s mineral development from a raw-materials export model to one that fosters local value addition, beneficiation, and regional integration. By promoting responsible governance, fair revenue distribution, and social inclusivity, the AMV ensures that Africa’s minerals benefit all its people, creating a resilient and competitive mining sector for future generations.
