The workshop provided participants with a better understanding of the economic potential of electric mobility value chains on growth, job creation and market opportunities. “Our main objective was to contribute to the knowledge of senior policy makers in Morocco, the DRC and Zambia about the steps necessary for development of Regional Value Chains (RVCs) in electric mobility. The global energy transition and exponential growth of the electric car sector (about US$8 trillion by 2025, US$46 trillion by 2050) are providing African countries with an opportunity to develop regional electric mobility value chains while speeding up the continent’s economic integration. North Africa could capitalise on the availability of materials needed for the development of an electric mobility value chain in Africa (Cobalt, Lithium, Nickel, Manganese and Graphite).
