Welcome to the Mining Industry Federation of East Africa (MIFEA). We champion a sustainable, ethical, and investment-ready mining sector for East Africa.

Welcome Message from the President

On behalf of the Mining Industry Federation of East Africa (MIFEA), I warmly welcome you to our official website - a platform dedicated to advancing the interests of the mining industry across our region.

Mining is more than the extraction of resources; it is about transforming lives, uplifting communities, and building resilient economies. As East Africa continues to grow, MIFEA stands as the unifying voice of all stakeholders — from artisanal miners to multinational corporations, from policymakers to academia - ensuring that our mining sector is ethical, sustainable, and globally competitive.

Through this Federation, we are committed to:

  • Championing policy reforms and harmonization across the East African Community.

  • Promoting investment, innovation, and value addition in mineral development.

  • Building capacity and skills to empower our people for opportunities in the mining value chain.

  • Upholding environmental stewardship and community welfare as pillars of responsible mining.

This website is your gateway to MIFEA’s programs, publications, events, and membership services. I encourage you to explore our resources, engage with our initiatives, and join us in shaping a mining sector that not only drives growth but also safeguards the dignity of our people and the integrity of our environment.

Together, we can transform East Africa into a model of sustainable mineral development and regional cooperation.

Mr. Peter Ntege
President
