Rethinking Tax Incentives in the Mining Sector in Africa

Due to various global crises and their subsequent socio-economic implications, governments across Africa face unprecedented challenges to mobilize the resources required to support economic recovery across all sectors of the economy, including the mining sector.

It proposes rethinking mining tax incentives through harmonized policy frameworks and cost-benefit analysis, aligned with the Africa Mining Vision.
