HORIZON-CL4-2021-RESILIENCE-01-05 Building EU-Africa partnerships on sustainable raw materials value chain

确保获得原材料，对于欧洲实现绿色协议并实现能源和数字双重转型的雄心来说，是一个关键问题。由于未来对主要关键原材料的需求将继续主要通过进口来满足，欧盟需要使其供应链多样化，并与非洲国家等资源丰富的第三国建立战略伙伴关系，涵盖开采、加工和精炼。在这一框架下，African aMaVal项目旨在发展欧盟-非洲伙伴关系，确保为欧洲工业提供负责任的矿产资源，同时在最佳环境、社会和治理(ESG)条件下实现可持续的当地共同发展，并为欧洲和非洲公司创造长期的商业环境。该联盟是由来自非洲和欧洲的合作伙伴创建的，建立在经验丰富的组织和网络的基础上，这些组织和网络深深植根于原材料领域，拥有对非洲文化、组织、困难和资源的专门知识和知识。将与包括ASSM活动在内的所有价值链一起研究矿产、金融、环境、社会、制度和经济方面，直到项目完成，以实现其运营目标：-在整个CRM价值链上建立欧盟和非洲的商业网络。-制定一项战略，整合已确定的和正在形成的欧盟和非洲原材料价值链，以实现能源和数字过渡。-评估负责任的投资机会。African aMaVal项目将在非洲国家进行10个案例研究和对100个投资机会进行评估，在欧洲和非洲广泛传播，以促进负责任的采购，并将在项目完成后实施一个可持续的组织。

Secure the access to raw materials represents a critical issue for European ambition to deliver the Green Deal and perform the energy and digital twin transition. As future demand of primary critical raw materials will continue to be largely met by importations, EU needs to diversify its supply chain and engage strategic partnerships with resources-rich third countries covering extraction, processing and refining such as African countries. In this framework, AfricaMaVal project aims to develop EU-Africa partnership ensuring a responsible sourcing of mineral resources for the European industry while granting a sustainable local co-development in the best Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) conditions and leading to a long-terms business environment for European and African companies. The consortium, created with partners coming both from Africa and Europe, is based on experienced organizations and networks deeply anchored and involved in the raw material domain with a specific expertise and knowledge of the African culture, organisations, difficulties and resources. The mineral, financial, environmental, social, institutional and economical aspects will be studied along with all the value chains, including the ASSM activities, to the project completion to reach its operational targets: - Building an EU and Africa business networking on the whole CRM value chains. - Developing a strategy on the integration of identified and emerging EU and African raw materials value chains for the energy and digital transition. - Assessing responsible investment opportunities. The AfricaMaVal project will conduct ten case studies in African countries and an evaluation of 100 investment opportunities, a wide dissemination within Europe and Africa to promote responsible sourcing and will implement a sustainable organisation after the completion of the project.
