This paper looks at the growing global interest in Africa’s uranium mines and potential uranium deposits. It examines the political, economic, social and environmental impact of current uranium mining and exploration trends in Africa and looks at examples, frameworks and best practices that might improve the governance of uranium mining and exploration throughout the continent. The author asserts that with the increasing demand for nuclear energy worldwide, interest in Africa’s uranium is set to grow. He concludes that there is no reason why this development should not benefit industry and governments alike.
