The earliest an insight is gained the better prepared you are to take the next step. However, due to the characteristics of mineral supply chains, especially artisanal and small mining ones, key insights often remain hidden until a major crisis takes place or a chance for positive development is missed.

At Afai Consulting, through research, fieldwork, dialogue, and collective knowledge generation we want to help bridge this gap by bringing early insights to our stakeholders so that they can turn their attention to emerging issues, risks, and opportunities to better support their reflection, decision making, and action.

These insights take various forms and can be accessed in our publicly available project specific publications and also via the articles, videos, policy notes, or white papers in this page or on our LinkedIn page. The bulk of our insights however is provided in tailor made reports prepared for clients.
