AfricaMaVal: EU-Africa Partnership on Raw Material Value chains

确保获得原材料是欧洲实现绿色交易和执行能源和数字孪生过渡的雄心的关键问题。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，包括开采、加工和精炼。在此框架内，AfricaMaVal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。该公司与来自非洲和欧洲的合作伙伴共同创建，以经验丰富的组织和网络为基础，这些组织和网络在原材料领域具有深厚的基础，并对非洲文化，组织，困难和资源具有特定的专业知识和知识。将沿着所有价值链（包括ASSM活动）研究矿产、金融、环境、社会、制度和经济方面，以完成项目，实现其运营目标：-在整个CRM价值链上建立欧盟和非洲业务网络。- 制定一项战略，整合已确定的和新兴的欧盟和非洲原材料价值链，以实现能源和数字化转型。- 评估负责任的投资机会。AfricaMaVal项目将在非洲国家进行10个案例研究，并对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，并将在项目完成后建立一个可持续的组织。

Secure the access to raw materials represents a critical issue for European ambition to deliver the Green Deal and perform the energyand digital twin transition. As future demand of primary critical raw materials will continue to be largely met by importations, EU needsto diversify its supply chain and engage strategic partnerships with resources-rich third countries covering extraction, processing andrefining such as African countries. In this framework, AfricaMaVal project aims to develop EU-Africa partnership ensuring a responsiblesourcing 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. Theconsortium, created with partners coming both from Africa and Europe, is based on experienced organizations and networks deeplyanchored 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 withall the value chains, including the ASSM activities, to the project completion to reach its operational targets: - Building an EU andAfrica business networking on the whole CRM value chains. - Developing a strategy on the integration of identified and emergingEU 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, awide dissemination within Europe and Africa to promote responsible sourcing and will implement a sustainable organisation after thecompletion of the project.
