As countries around the world prioritise the global energy transition, demand for lithium - a critical resource for battery material production - has increased exponentially, driving up prices.[i] Countries in Africa, a continent rich in lithium resources, are geared to take advantage of the opportunity. Africa has significant natural lithium resources, which may allow many African countries to contribute to meeting increased demand, while also supporting economic growth. With the exception of Zimbabwe, Africa is currently a relatively immature lithium producer. However, recent discoveries are positioning Africa as a major contender in global lithium supply.
