@THESARWATCH The #AMV underscores the fact that transformative & equitable development can only occur if Africa succeeds in transforming transient mineral wealth into other forms of lasting capital,which outlive the currency of mining through variety of economic benefit streams

The #AMV was adopted in 2011 by African governments. The AMV Action Plan sets out the details of areas for action for advancing the AMV.

[Martin M @MartinM_rsa]

@THESARWATCH This year marks 10 years since the adoption of the #AMV. Through the 10 years, several policy documents have been developed to advance the AMV agenda, the African Mineral Governance Framework (AMGF) provides the most concrete framework and tools for assessing the progress.

Quite clear from Mr Pual Msoma of the AU s' presentation is that Traditional/ Tribal Authority are not vested with key skills and understand to negotiate mining contracts.
