Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new partnership aims to leverage the African Development Bank Group's financing and regional reach alongside Brazil's experience in tropical agriculture and renewable energy. The call for greater African ownership of mineral wealth seeks to ensure that mineral-rich countries derive greater economic value from their natural assets.
