Human Rights, Mining, and Community Accountability in Africa

In this episode of Blindspot Africa, Charles Ofori speaks with Alaka Lugonzo, Partnerships Lead at Global Witness, on the evolving role of civil society in Africa’s extractive and energy sectors. The conversation explores how advocacy around human rights, transparency, and environmental accountability has shifted from internal civil society discussions to direct engagement with governments, investors, and private sector actors. Alaka shares insights on the importance of securing a social license to operate for mining companies, the growing relevance of ESG and sustainability standards, and why stronger partnerships between communities, governments, and civil society are essential for responsible resource development. The episode also addresses the challenges faced by organizations working in restricted civic spaces and highlights how strategic partnerships can help human rights defenders continue their work while reducing risk.

The conversation explores the African Green Mineral Strategy (AGMS), the urgency of building local value chains, and why Africa’s real challenge may not be resources—but vision, coordination, and political will. From the reality of 600 million people without electricity to the opportunity to reshape global supply chains, this episode challenges conventional thinking on development, trade, and energy. A sharp, forward-looking discussion on Africa’s economic future—and what it will take to secure it.
