PANEL DISCUSSION : Driving Social Value for African Economies Through Local Content

Africa’s oil and gas can be a conduit for its development, if delivered on an equitable basis through a focus on local content and domestic value creation. Achieving stronger stakeholder collaboration between government and private sector is paramount to ensure oil and gas can deliver a legacy of prosperity and economic benefits to host countries.

What does an equitable local content policy in oil and gas look like for Africa?
What can operators do to empower local economies and develop the domestic capacities required to support national development agendas?
How to ensure local markets, local people and local communities gain long term benefit from oil and gas investment?
How to empower SMEs and national technology and service providers to access oil and gas projects?
How can policy support local content to become a positive enabler for local businesses?
