Opportunities and challenges of local content development in the Oil & Gas sector in African producing countries
The adoption of local content policy frameworks (LCF) is used as a strategy to ensure local industry participation, long-term development, and inclusive economic growth in African oil & gas producing countries. The implementation of local content policies and their sustainability in the continent, particularly in the current context of the global push for energy transition, is a critical topic in the oil and gas industry. 
Although significant progress has been made in the implementation of this policy by some African producing countries, there is a need to deliberate on the experience gained and discuss the challenges of using this strategy across the continent. The latest will be the main focus of the 8th African Petroleum Congress & Exhibition.
Be part of this crucial debate! From 16 to 19 May in Luanda!
