AMSG Private Sector Forum

The Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) was established by 17 African governments to foster international cooperation in the minerals and mining sector across Member States. The AMSG’s goal is to promote exploration, extraction, local beneficiation (value addition), and commercialization, ensuring a sustainable, transparent, and secure supply of Africa’s minerals. In doing so, AMSG aims to drive socio-economic transformation, improve the quality of life for African populations, and support the global energy transition.

To achieve these ambitious goals, the AMSG recognizes the essential role of the private sector in realizing the continent’s vast mineral potential.

A Vision for Africa’s Future

The AMSG Private Sector Forum operates on the principle that effective collaboration between the public and private sectors is vital for addressing the challenges and opportunities in Africa’s minerals sector. It provides a space for members to work together on initiatives that contribute to Africa’s socio-economic development, ensuring the continent’s mineral wealth translates into shared prosperity.

Governance and Membership

The AMSG Private Sector Forum is governed by a Board, chaired by the AMSG Secretary-General, and supported by a team of expert members. The Board advises the Secretary-General and mobilizes private sector participation in Forum activities. Membership is open to companies operating in the minerals and mining sector in AMSG Member States, with a particular focus on mining, energy, infrastructure development, financial services, and consultancy.

Forum Activities and Engagements

Regular meetings – both virtual and in-person – will provide opportunities for members to share knowledge, discuss progress, and collaborate on projects. Specialized working groups will address key areas such as local beneficiation, mining investments, policy alignment, access to financing, infrastructure development, transparent supply chains, technological advancements, and capacity building.

The Forum will also contribute to AMSG flagship events and high-level side events, enhancing its role as a catalyst for change and development.
