Ambassador Michael Gonzales Remarks During his visit to Kobolds Mingomba Mine

Thank you all for having me and thank you to our hosts KoBold Metals for inviting us here today.  I’d also like to thank Presidential Special Assistant Jito Kayumba for joining us here today.

Six months after the conclusion of the U.S.-Africa Leaders’ Summit in December 2022, my first visit to KoBold’s Mingomba project is a reminder that the United States—not only the U.S. government, but the American private sector—is delivering on our commitments, our commitments to the people of Zambia.

During the Summit, President Biden announced that the U.S. government plans to invest $55 billion over the next three years across the African continent.  The Summit demonstrated our renewed commitment to partnerships between the United States and Africa: between countries, between institutions, and among our people.  We remain focused not on what we will do for Zambia as a donor, but what we will do with Zambia as a partner invested in Zambia’s success.  Because, we are investing in Zambia as we deepen and expand our partnership.

The mining firm is alive of the fact that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in most economies, particularly in rural communities, however, access to finance is a key constraint to SME growth, and it is one of the most cited obstacles that they are faced with.

The additional funding of K 1.2 million follows the initial K 756,000 given to the six groups in February earlier this year, with each having received K 126,000 to help kick-start their business activities around the District.
