UNECA; African Mineral Development Centre (AMDC)

The mission of the Centre is to work with member States and their national and regional organisations to promote the transformative role of mineral resources in the development of the continent through increased economic and social linkages. A key objective of the Centre is to ensure that Africa’s interests and concerns in this lucrative sector are properly articulated and internalized throughout the continent, for the benefit and prosperity of all.

Africa is well endowed with mineral resources and has a long history of mining, but has so far not reaped the developmental benefits from these resources. This is largely due to the weak integration of Africa’s mining sector into national economic and social activities. The African Union (AU) Heads of State and Government have taken deliberate steps to address this weakness, through the endorsement of the Africa Mining Vision (AMV) and the establishment of the African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) to provide strategic operational support for the Vision and its Action Plan. If well managed, Africa’s mineral endowments can lift the continent out of poverty and catapult it to growth, development and prosperity for all – this is the ultimate purpose of the African Mining Vision.
