Economic adviser writing about what makes African mineral projects financeable. Critical minerals, mining governance and energy transition.

[George Lwanda @LwandaGeorge]

African critical-minerals policy will not succeed on ambition alone. It must pass the credit committee.

Here I examine mineral finance, bankability, mining governance, energy transition and AI governance.

The test is simple: can policy survive implementation?

[George Lwanda @LwandaGeorge]

African critical-minerals policy does not fail at the policy stage. It fails at the credit committee.

I write about what makes a mineral project financeable: bankability, fiscal terms, governance and the energy that has to be there first.

Ambition is not a funding source.
