Politiques, cadres juridiques et réglementaires relatifs aux minéraux en Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre: défis, lacunes et solutions.

L'objectif de cette conférence était de discuter des principales questions de cadre politique, juridique et réglementaire qui ont empêché l'Afrique l'Ouest et du Centre de réaliser son potentiel dans le secteur des minéraux.  La conférence a exploré comment accélérer la domestication des cadres politiques sous-régionaux et continentaux tels que l'AMV (Vision minière en Afrique)
