Antoinette Manyaga Madjob is an independent researcher and critical minerals specialist with a strong interest in responsible mining, mineral governance, and sustainable resource development. Her work focuses on helping African policymakers, particularly in Cameroon, understand the strategic importance of critical minerals and develop practical responses to illegal mining, weak governance, and investment-readiness challenges in the mining sector.
She has academic and professional grounding in environmental science, technology, health, and public policy-related issues, with a particular focus on how mineral resources can support economic transformation without undermining environmental integrity or community welfare. Her expertise covers critical minerals governance, responsible mining practices, ESG awareness, stakeholder engagement, policy communication, and the role of mineral resources in the global energy transition.
Antoinette is passionate about building a mining sector that is transparent, investment-ready, and socially responsible. She brings a grounded understanding of Cameroon’s mineral landscape, the governance challenges facing resource-rich African countries, and the practical steps needed to move from informal or illegal mining practices toward credible, well-regulated, and development-oriented mineral value chains.
