Demand for critical minerals needed for green technologies is skyrocketing, creating a multi-trillion-dollar market. But most countries aren’t fully ready to benefit. To build strong, diverse mineral supply chains, we need better planning, more funding, and global cooperation—starting now.
OUR CURRENT FOCUS
Resilient and Inclusive Supply Chain Enhancement Partnership (RISE)
Managed by the Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS) Trust Fund
The RISE Partnership is a global initiative that provides:
PILLARS
RISE consists of three interlinked pillars, in sequence from analytics through technical assistance to investment facilitation.
WHY RISE?
To diversify global supply chains, we need experts from many fields—like mining, infrastructure, finance, and environmental management—and strong coordination among governments, companies, and local communities. Everyone must be involved in planning and carrying out the work to make it successful.
RISE supports countries undertaking reforms, with a focus on creating lasting, mutual benefits. The goal is to deliver results that benefit both mineral-producing and mineral-using countries.
HOW WE OPERATE
What Impact?
Collectively, these impacts support access to affordable and clean energy, economic growth, innovation, and reduced inequalities.
How is RISE Implemented?
The RISE initiative is managed by the World Bank through the EGPS Multi-Donor Trust Fund.
RISE is guided by the EGPS Partnership Council, made up of donor countries, and supported by a Technical Working Group that includes donors, industry, civil society, academia and experts who advise on strategy and activities.
Local Information Platforms (LIPs) in target regions and countries bring together governments, investors, development banks, and industry groups to share information on investment opportunities. The World Bank leads RISE implementation, with experts from across the Bank working together to ensure the initiative delivers lasting impact in participating countries.
IFC plays a critical role in developing the manufacturing sector by bringing together private sector and government investment, and also provides sustainable finance to mining and manufacturing companies to support their climate and sustainability goals.
MIGA offers political risk insurance and credit enhancement to investors.
The Program benefits from more than four decades of combined hands-on multidisciplinary experience.
