A trusted execution partner in Africa’s resource economies.
AfriMali Insight partners with funders, research institutions, and private-sector actors to translate natural resource governance and policy into accountable, on-the-ground outcomes — with a focus on artisanal and small-scale mining and resource-linked development.

Across Africa’s resource economies, strong policy frameworks coexist with weak execution.
Natural resource governance doesn’t fail at the policy level. It fails where regulation meets reality. Especially in artisanal and small-scale mining. AfriMali Insight closes that gap: moving institutions from strategy to accountable outcomes in complex resource environments.
What we do.
Resource Governance & Policy Execution
We support the operationalization of natural resource governance frameworks in real-world contexts. Our work helps partners translate policy commitments into implementable programs, institutional arrangements, and accountable delivery. Particularly in ASM and resource-dependent communities.
Research, Evidence & Strategic Insight
We produce and apply research that informs policy design, investment decisions, and program execution. Our work spans applied research, policy analysis, and strategic insight that supports institutions working in resource governance and development economics.
Institutional & Community Delivery
We execute interventions on the ground, working with communities, operators, and institutions to deliver measurable outcomes. From program implementation to documentation and learning, we ensure delivery is context-aware, responsible, and accountable.
Our work is grounded in four principles.
-
Research-led: Decisions are informed by evidence, not assumptions.
-
Context-driven: We operate close to the realities of resource communities and institutions.
-
Partnership-based: We work as collaborators and peers, not external vendors.
-
Accountable execution: We take responsibility for delivery, learning, and outcomes.
This approach allows our partners to entrust AfriMali Insight with complexity — whether in policy execution, funded programs, or institutional engagements.
