As the world accelerates toward clean energy, Africa stands at the center of a historic opportunity. The global shift to batteries, electric vehicles, and renewable technologies has dramatically increased the demand for lithium, cobalt, manganese, graphite, copper, and other critical minerals—many of which are abundant across the African continent. But opportunity alone is not enough. Without strategic policy action, African nations risk repeating the old pattern of exporting raw materials while missing out on the massive value created through processing, manufacturing, and technology development. This video breaks down seven essential policy actions African governments must take to fully benefit from the energy transition and avoid falling into yet another resource trap.

In this video, AfroStrategy Network explores:
•How African countries can build strong local value chains
•The role of regional cooperation in shaping global mineral markets
•Policies that protect national interests while attracting strategic investment
•Why industrialization—not extraction—is the path to real economic power
•How to balance environmental sustainability with rapid development
•Governance standards that prevent corruption, exploitation, and resource flight
•Strategies to position Africa as a global leader in green manufacturing

These seven policy steps are not just recommendations—they are a roadmap for transforming Africa’s mineral wealth into long-term prosperity, technological capability, and geopolitical influence. If executed well, the energy transition could mark the moment Africa shifts from being a supplier of raw resources to a global superpower in the green economy.
