Africa Mining Vision – African Union HQ – 24 March 2023

On Friday the 24th March, COEHA management team met H.E. Albert M. Muchanga, African Union Commissioner for Economic Development, Tourism, Trade, Industry and Mining at his Office, African Union HQ.

African is rich in mineral resources and huge efforts are being done to make mining safe. We in the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health Africa (COEHA) are delighted to work closely with the African Union’s Africa Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) to implement the Africa Mining Vision (AMV).

One of the main tenets of AMV is “A sustainable and well-governed mining sector that effectively garners and deploys resource rents and that is safe, healthy, gender and ethnically inclusive, environmentally friendly, socially responsible and appreciated by surrounding communities.” Occupational Health can play a major role in realizing this tenet.
