ECP and AMSG Forge Alliance to Spur African Mining Investment

The memorandum of understanding leverages AMSG’s extensive government networks alongside ECP’s experience in investment promotion. This collaboration centers on the upcoming African Mining Week, scheduled for October 14–16, 2026. AMSG will act as a strategic advisor for the event, tasked with curating policy-focused content and securing high-level participation from regional institutions and institutional leaders.

Beyond event planning, the two organizations are building a framework for ministerial roundtables, market intelligence, and sustained investor outreach. AMSG Secretary-General Moses Micheal Engadu emphasized that the initiative is designed to ensure mineral extraction translates into long-term economic value rather than mere resource export. ECP Chief Executive Officer James Chester noted that as global demand for critical minerals intensifies, the partnership provides a necessary conduit for connecting developers with the private sector. The effort arrives as African nations look to capitalize on the global energy transition, which relies heavily on the raw materials found within the continent's borders.
