The Government of Guinea, the French Alteo Group, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) signed a public-private partnership for development (PPPD) today with the aim of accelerating the acquisition and improvement of skills required by the alumina industry in Guinea. The ambition of this partnership is to promote, through skills transfer, the emergence of a highly skilled workforce in Guinea in order to support the national strategy for bauxite development and thus contribute to the establishment of a local bauxite processing industry.
