Interactive map of bilateral and multilateral mineral partnerships across African countries and non-African partners # Partnerships with African Countries in Green Minerals Live demo · Part of a data visualization portfolio for the Africa Policy Research Institute An interactive choropleth map exploring bilateral agreements between African countries and international partners regarding access to critical minerals. ## Features - Hover any African country for its partnership count and partner list - Select a specific partner (country or the EU) from the **Partner** menu to see agreement details: signing date, access status, and areas of cooperation - Responsive layout: desktop (side panel) and tablet portrait (stacked panel) ## Built with - D3.js (geo projection, transitions) - Vanilla JavaScript (ES modules) - Bootstrap 5 ## Data Collected by APRI's Geopolitics and Geoeconomics Program from government databases, treaty repositories, and secondary sources. Not exhaustive, see the in-app About modal for full methodology. ## Known limitations / next steps - Multilateral (coalition-based) partnerships are not currently represented in this version — deliberately scoped out to keep the primary interaction model (map + single-partner lookup) clear for a first-time viewer. A second version exploring coalition-level data through a different interaction pattern is planned on a separate branch. - A handful of small island nations (Comoros, Mauritius, São Tomé and Príncipe, Seychelles) are excluded from the map due to invalid geometry in the source GeoJSON.
