Dr. Dele Alake, the Nigerian Minister of Solid Minerals Development and Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG), advocated for several continental policy changes during the AMSG High-Level Roundtable. The proposals include establishing a Mine Emergency and Community Recovery Fund to mitigate losses from frequent mine collapses across Africa. Alake also proposed a dedicated African safety facility to formalize artisanal mining and expand co-operatives in member states.
