Global management consultancy Oliver Wyman, a Marsh business, says stronger partnerships and sharper decision-making will be essential if Africa is to translate its vast mineral endowment into durable economic growth.

The firm, known for combining deep industry insight with bold, practical innovation, works with clients across sectors – including mining and metals – to cut through complexity, manage risk and deliver strategies that unlock sustainable value.

Reflecting on discussions at the Investing in African Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town, Oliver Wyman partner Mark Evans spoke to Mining Weekly at the event on Wednesday.

A consistent message emerging from the week has been the importance of collaboration, with Evans unpacking how Oliver Wyman supports mining companies in strengthening governance, improving risk visibility and deploying capital more effectively.

He also discusses the one shift in mindset or action that is most urgent if Africa is to translate its mineral wealth into lasting economic value.
