With global demand surging for cobalt, lithium, and rare earth minerals, the risk of corruption in supply chains is higher than ever. Robinson explores how EITI’s mechanisms can ensure African nations and communities receive fair value from their resources.

Key topics include strategies to prevent corruption in Africa’s critical mineral supply chains, ensuring mining revenues translate to tangible benefits for local communities, addressing South Africa’s resistance to EITI membership amid transparency concerns, the impact of deep-sea mining and how EITI adapts its disclosure requirements, balancing Africa’s long-term value retention with the global demand for critical minerals, lessons from oil and gas transparency applicable to renewable energy projects, the role of technology, including blockchain and AI, in improving real-time transparency, and EITI’s evolving strategy (2024–2028) to address climate resilience alongside anti-corruption efforts.
