Africa doesn't benefit from its own mineral wealth. The reason: A broken model built on extraction without shared benefits, favoring consuming nations over producers. The fix: a minerals partnership that secures supply for consuming nations and advances Africa's development agenda. bit.ly/4gPcqHr

Africa's minerals are sovereign assets, not commodities up for grabs. That's the premise of the African Green Minerals Strategy (AGMS). According to expert Alaka Lugonzo, the U.S. should align its critical minerals policy with the AGMS and move beyond a purely extractive approach. bit.ly/4gPcqHr
