Abstract
ABSTRACT East African Community (EAC) countries have abundant natural resources, including minerals which are critical inputs for achieving sustainable development. The mining sector contributes a substantial portion of EAC exports, revenue, and gross domestic product to achieve sustainable development goals. Despite this accomplishment, the mining industry is nevertheless plagued by various issues. As a result, this review provides an overview of the mining sector’s challenges and way forward. It also looks at ways to improve the situation in the future. The study found that financial resources, human and technical resources, infrastructure, political instability, the nature of mineral reserves, social difficulties, marketing, and limited research and exploration are some of the main challenges faced by the mineral sector in the EAC region. Thus, the study recommends capacity building, resolving political instabilities, diversifying the economy to lessen reliance on mining, improving marketing, improving mining infrastructure, and encouraging research and exploration.
