SWISSAID is currently adding content progressively to this website. At this stage, analyses of the gold sector are available for the following countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal and Togo. Please get in touch per email (see address below) if you want to be informed when a new analysis is published and mention the country or countries you are interested in. Thank you for your visit!

This website consolidates data from various sources on gold production and trade in Africa over a decade (mainly 2012 to 2022) and makes it understandable through visualisations and textual analysis. It complements SWISSAID’s report on gold flows in Africa. Country profiles can be accessed by clicking on the map or choosing from the menu. For more information (e.g. on sources, methodology or recommendations), please refer to the report. You can also contact us at africangold@swissaid.ch.
