| dc.description | The United Nations established the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) 60 years ago. To mark this milestone, a pre-event was celebrated on June 4, 2024, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) banquet. Jointly organized by UNCTAD, UNECA, and the African Minerals Development Center, the gathering brought together leaders from across Africa to discuss sustainable development, with a focus on ensuring prosperity for all.
The pre-event centered on the opportunities and resources within the critical minerals sector to support Africa’s development. Discussions highlighted the challenges of illegal mining and conflict-related mining activities that plague the continent. The event underscored the importance of frameworks such as the Africa Mining Vision, Africa Green Minerals Strategies, and various sub-regional and national policies aimed at maximizing the developmental impact of Africa’s mineral wealth.
Deputy Executive Secretary of the ECA, Antonio Pedro, made the opening remarks during the event. | en |
