Local Content Awareness
Empowering stakeholders in Africa's mining, oil, and gas industries through strategic local content awareness and implementation
Transforming Compliance into Strategic Advantage
As global demand for critical minerals and energy resources grows, local content policies are increasingly shifting from compliance obligations to strategic levers for economic empowerment, job creation, and sustainable development.
Why Local Content Matters
Local content — also known as national content or in-country value — is no longer just a regulatory checkbox. It has become a strategic lever for competitiveness, ESG performance, and sustainable growth.
Economic Empowerment
Creating jobs, local business opportunities, and technology transfer that strengthens national economies across Africa.
Resilient Value Chains
Building robust local supply chains that reduce dependency and create sustainable business ecosystems.
ESG Excellence
Local content is now a core ESG pillar — embedding value within local ecosystems beyond just hiring locals.
From Ownership-Focused to Value-Focused
Historically, local content frameworks were judged by ownership percentages. Today, maturity has shifted towards value-focused models, where companies are assessed on their comprehensive contribution to local development.
This evolution aligns with best practices promoted by the World Bank, African Union, and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
