Africa's Mineral Strength Is Wasted If Countries Don't Work Together - New Report

Africa has significant deposits of minerals essential for green technologies, such as cobalt, lithium, copper, and rare earths. However, having these resources does not automatically lead to industrial development or shared prosperity, as many African countries struggle to benefit economically from mining. A World Bank study investigates whether these countries are processing or refining these minerals or producing components for green technologies. Regional cooperation is vital for maximizing the economic benefits of Africa's mineral wealth.
