China dominates mining and refining in Zimbabwe and Mali to secure its supplies, bringing the continent's production to 11% of the global market by 2024. Faced with a ban on exporting raw minerals, Chinese companies are now investing in local processing, prompting Western powers to react and pushing African states to diversify their partners to maximize economic benefits. In Senegal, the African Development Bank (AfDB) is relying on the private sector to finance major transport projects by 2031 to address public debt. Transport already accounts for 36% of the institution's $2.6 billion in commitments.
