Many were formed during the Proterozoic (e.g. Central African Copperbelt, Kalahari Mn-fields…). Gabon’s sedimentary basins are located around Archean magmatic and metamorphic rocks. The Proterozoic Francevillan Basin in the southeastern part of the country hosts one of the world’s famous manganese deposits. Uranium was mined in the same region until 1999. Gabon is the 2nd largest Mn producer in the world after South Africa where Mn is mined from the famous, time-equivalent Kalahari Mn-fields, the world’s largest on-shore Mn- deposits. COMILOG, belonging to ERAMET Group, was founded in 1953. It has been operating the mine in Gabon since 1962 in Moanda, about 50 km from Franceville. Manganese (production of ~4 Mt/year) is exploited from laterites with an average grade of 46 % Mn. The ore is sintered and transported over 600 km by rail to the port of Owendo, close to Libreville, and shipped for steel production to clients in Europe, USA and China.

    Knowledge institutions in Africa and their development 1960-2020: Gabon Knowledge Institutions in Africa and their development 1960-2020 Gabon Introduction This report about the development of the knowledge institutions in Gabon was made as part of the preparations for the AfricaKnows! Conference (2 December 2020 – 28 February 2021) in Leiden, and elsewhere, see www.africaknows.eu. Reports like these can never be complete, and there might also be mistakes. Additions and corrections are welcome! Please send those to [email protected] Highlights 1 Gabon’s population increased from 501,000 in 1960, via 950,000 in 1990, to 2.2 million in 2020. 2 Gabon’s literacy rate is 85% (15 years and older, 2018). 3 The so-called education index (used as part of the human development index) improved between 1990 (earlier data not available) and 2018: from 0.473to 0.636 (it can vary between 0 and 1). 4 Regional inequality is consistent and low. Performing best overall is Libreville-Port Gentil. The region with the fastest development is Estuaire (the province where Libreville is located). Performing worst overall is Ogooue Lolo. The slowest developing province is Moyen Ogooue. 5 The Mean Years of Schooling for adults improved between 1990 and 2018, from 4.3 years to 8.3 years. There is high regional inequality until 2010. 6 The Expected Years of Schooling for children improved somewhat: from 11.1 to 12.1 years. There is low regional inequality throughout the period. 7 Gabon has had higher education institutions since the late 1950s. Currently there are about 32 tertiary knowledge institutions in Gabon, 15 public and 17 private ones.

  • Plan Opérationnel Gabon Vert Horizon 2025
    Plan Opérationnel GABON VERT Horizon 2025 Donner à l’Emergence une trajectoire durable Le mot du chef de l’Etat ALI BONGO ONDIMBA 4 Extrait du projet de société « L’Avenir en confiance » du Président Ali BONGO ONDIMBA Le pilier Gabon Vert s’appuiera sur la valorisation du « pétrole vert » que constitue notre formidable écosystème (nos 22 millions d’hectares de forêt, nos terres agricoles, nos 800 kilomètres de littoral maritime). Appartenant au bassin du Congo, deuxième « poumon » de la planète, le Gabon a consacré 11% de son territoire aux parcs nation- aux en vue de participer à l’effort mondial de préservation de l’environnement et de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Cet effort sera maintenu tout en tenant compte des impératifs de développement et d’industrialisation de notre pays. L’économie verte s’annonce, en effet, comme un des vecteurs de l’économie mondiale du XXIème siècle et notre pays dispose des atouts pour y devenir un grand acteur. Pour cela, nous devons préserver notre forêt et nous assurer que sa contribution à la lutte mondiale contre le changement climatique est rémunérée à sa juste valeur. Nous devons transformer entièrement notre bois localement à travers un artisanat et une industrie dynamiques. Nous devons bâtir une agriculture, une pêche et une aquaculture modernes, garantissant notre sécurité alimen- taire. Nous devons exploiter pleinement nos fortes potentialités dans l’écotourisme que nous confèrent nos im- menses espaces forestiers. Au demeurant, la préservation de ce précieux écosystème se fera dans un souci profond de respect de l’environ- nement, qui doit transparaître aussi bien dans l’intégration de la dimension environnementale dans chacun de nos projets, que dans les actes au quotidien de chaque Gabonais.
