The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) has welcomed a 12-member high-level delegation from the Government of Zambia as part of a study visit to learn from Ghana’s experience in managing mineral wealth through a dedicated sovereign minerals investment fund.
The delegation, led by Permanent Secretary–Budget at Zambia’s Ministry of Finance and National Planning, Mrs. Mwaka Mukubesa, engaged with the MIIF Board, Management and technical teams on the Fund’s governance framework, investment strategy, royalty mobilisation systems and portfolio management.
Welcoming the delegation, MIIF Board Chairman, Mr. Richard Kwame Asante, described the visit as a testament to the growing cooperation between Ghana and Zambia, noting both countries’ shared commitment to leveraging mineral resources for industrialisation, economic transformation and sustainable development under the AfCFTA.
Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Justina Nelson, highlighted MIIF’s journey since becoming operational in 2020, outlining how the Fund invests Ghana’s mineral royalties to maximise long-term value while maintaining strong governance and transparency.
The visit concluded with technical discussions on investment management, royalty mobilisation and opportunities for long-term collaboration to advance sustainable mineral resource governance across Africa.
