We are pleased to share an article by Almamy Soumaré, of our coalition member organisation, Bouga Té AgriServices - which focuses on sustainable farming, resilience, and protecting natural ecosystems - titled “Guidimakha: From Karakoro to the Senegal River, two mining projects and a territory undergoing rapid transformation” The blog examines the broader territorial, environmental and social implications of two major mining projects—the Ghabou gold project and the Diaguily copper-gold project—in the southern Guidimakha region of Mauritania. Rather than viewing these as isolated industrial enclaves, the author argues that they must be understood as interconnected parts of a single living, functional landscape.

The initiative focuses on equipping educators, students, and scholars to engage with AI in ways that strengthen human judgement, respect local knowledge, protect privacy, and respond to the realities of diverse African educational contexts.
