The Atlantic Council published on 12 October 2023 an analysis titled "How the US Can Build Better Strategic Partnerships in Africa to Secure Critical Minerals" by Nii Simmonds and Shirley Martey Hargis.

The US should incentivize and strengthen private sector partnerships with African countries to secure supply chains. More urgent action is needed to counter China's dominance of the continent's critical minerals.
