AMSG Policy and Advocacy Dialogues: Catalyzing action and cooperation in Africa’s minerals, uniting leaders to shape a Common African Voice on the global stage.

[AMSG Policy and Advocacy Dialogues @AMSGDialogues]

Strategic partnerships are essential to transforming Africa's critical minerals potential into investment, industrial growth and lasting economic value.

The Solid Minerals Development Fund (SMDF), Federal Republic of Nigeria, is among the strategic partners supporting the Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa.

Under the leadership of Hajiya Fatima Umaru Shinkafi, Executive Secretary and CEO, the SMDF represents an important institutional voice in the broader conversation around financing and advancing sustainable development within Africa's minerals sector.

As global demand for critical minerals continues to grow, the continent must strengthen collaboration between governments, development institutions, investors and industry to unlock the capital, infrastructure and partnerships required to move beyond raw material extraction.

Under the theme: FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH

the Roundtable will advance strategic dialogue around:

Mineral Value Addition | Data Sovereignty | Innovative Financing | Critical Minerals Security

The participation and support of strategic institutions such as the Solid Minerals Development Fund reinforces the importance of building practical partnerships capable of translating Africa's mineral potential into projects, industries, jobs and sustainable economic prosperity.

The Secretary-General of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group, H.E. Moses Micheal Engadu, delivered a powerful message about the choices confronting Africa's critical minerals future during AFNIS 2026.

Drawing on the image of the African baobab, he described a continent whose visible strength is sustained by the connections beneath the surface.

Africa's mineral wealth is immense. But, as the Secretary-General emphasized, no single African country possesses everything required for industrial transformation.

Collectively, however, Africa possesses the resources, people, markets and strategic potential to become one of the defining economic powers of the 21st century.
This is the thinking behind the Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, taking place on 21 September 2026 in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

As Secretary General of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG), H.E. Moses Micheal Engadu is at the centre of the continental dialogue shaping Africa's critical minerals future. The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa continues this evolving agenda; bringing together political leaders, ministers, investors, development finance institutions, industry leaders and strategic partners around a shared continental vision.

Under the theme:

FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH

the Roundtable will focus on four strategic priorities:

Mineral Value Addition
Data Sovereignty
Innovative Financing
Critical Minerals Security

The ambition is clear:

Africa must move from being a source of critical minerals to becoming a strategic partner in the global critical-minerals economy.

The challenge is therefore not simply to extract more. It is to: Build industries, not merely export resources. Export value, not merely raw materials. Shape global supply chains, not merely participate in them. Direct investment towards Africa's long-term development priorities. And ultimately: Transform Africa's resource wealth into shared prosperity.

Africa's critical minerals future requires strong political leadership, continental coordination, and a clear commitment to turning mineral wealth into sustainable economic value.

The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa will be convened with the leadership of Dr. Oladele Alake, OON, Minister of Solid Minerals Development of Nigeria and Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG).

As Africa navigates a rapidly changing global critical minerals landscape, the strategic conversation must move beyond extraction to address value addition, investment, data sovereignty, industrialisation and resilient critical-minerals supply chains.

Under the theme:

FROM RESOURCES TO WEALTH

the Roundtable will bring together high-level African political leadership, development finance institutions, investors, industry leaders and strategic partners to advance a shared continental agenda for critical minerals development.

The ambition is clear:

To build value.
To deepen cooperation.
To attract strategic investment.
And to ensure that Africa captures a greater share of the value generated from its mineral resources.

Critical minerals are no longer just about mining. They are about the future.

From artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to the energy transition, critical minerals are becoming increasingly central to economic security, industrial competitiveness and the resilience of global supply chains.

The question for Africa is therefore bigger than how much we extract.
It is:

How do we turn our mineral endowment into strategic economic power?

Africa has many of the resources the world needs for its next technological and industrial era, and the opportunity now is to ensure that Africa captures more of the value.

This is at the heart of the Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development in Africa, convening on 21 September 2026 in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

From Resource to Wealth.

THE ROAD TO 21 SEPTEMBER

The Third AMSG High-Level Roundtable is being positioned as a defining moment in Africa's critical minerals agenda.

In New York, African political leaders, policymakers, financial institutions, investors and industry leaders will come together around a common question:

How can Africa use its extraordinary mineral endowment to build stronger economies, competitive industries and lasting prosperity?

The answer will require more than resources.
It will require cooperation, capital, infrastructure, technology, policy certainty and continental leadership.

That is the opportunity before Africa.

For generations, Africa’s rich mineral endowment has been bottlenecked by uncoordinated national policies, isolated extraction, and a lack of integrated regional infrastructure. To unlock true prosperity, we must move past competition and build true economic interdependence.

​This year, the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) Roundtable, chaired by His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is operationalizing a new paradigm: the Mutual Assured Development (MADE) Framework. To enhance cooperation across three pillars: Development Assurance, Policy Assurance, & Financial and Economic Assurance.

​On September 21, 2026, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, AMSG will host its 3rd High-Level Roundtable on Critical Minerals Development.

​The era of raw extraction without localized value retention is ending. Join us as we build the structural architecture for Africa’s industrial future.
