Export Development Fund (EDF) recently attended the first ever Malawi Mining Investment Forum held in Lilongwe. The event provided a good platform for players in the mining sector to meet and discuss issues affecting the growth of the sector.
Focused on fostering a structured market for gold and gemstones in Malawi, EDF's presence at the forum underscored its commitment to supporting investments and initiatives that aim to uplift the mining sector.
‘The forum provided a strategic platform for us to show our commitment to supporting Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners especially with the structured market for gold and gemstones that we are operating. The forum provided an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas and it was also a good space for us to market our financing solutions that can support business operations for those implementing projects in the mining sector,’ said Elyvin Nkhonjera, EDF’s Precious Metals and Minerals Manager.
The event served as a perfect platform for stakeholders to engage in insightful discussions and explore emerging issues within Malawi's mining landscape. From uncovering investment opportunities to addressing pertinent challenges, the forum offered a comprehensive overview of the sector's potential and prospects.
