On Tuesday, September 17, the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution hosted His Excellency President Alpha Condé of Guinea to share his thoughts on the many priorities that need to be balanced when managing revenues from natural resources in Africa. This is an abiding priority for Guinea, a nation blessed with one-third of the world’s reserves of bauxite, as well as a wealth of iron, diamonds, gold, among other natural resources.
While the country’s mining sector produces more than 90 percent the country’s exports, the sector only accounts for 17 percent of tax revenue and 2.6 percent of employment. Reforms are underway in Guinea to improve the business environment and open up to high-quality foreign investment. However, myriad challenges remain, including attracting more investors and optimizing the mining sector, diversifying the economy, and boosting job creation.
His Excellency also reflected on how Guinea’s reforms may offer lessons for other resource-rich nations in Africa.

Whitebark pine restoration sign near lodge. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
Sign reads:
Whitebark pine restoration
400 whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) seedlings are planted here as part of a restoration project. Rocks and logs create micro-habitats that protect the seedlings by providing shelter, stabilizing soil and holding water. This will help the seedlings surviv the harsh conditions here on the caldera rim. Please Stay on Path.
