2024 Agenda Sessions

Developing a fruitful and inclusive labour sector - policies, politics and possibilities

To what extent does labour issues/trade unions find articulation in African mining regimes and economic development policy frameworks?
Why does the existing policy not recognise the roles of social workforce partners, and how must that change to recognise them?
How do the aspirations of labour unions find expression in the countries’ policy designs on issues that affect workers?
Do the current low carbon energy transition ambitions across the continent hold the real possibility of a standardized mining workforce plan?
