Namibia has officially joined a growing African alliance to defend and reposition natural diamonds on the global stage, throwing its weight behind a bold continental strategy to future-proof the industry.
At Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town, Namibia signed the Luanda Accord, aligning with Angola, Botswana and the Democratic Republic of Congo in a coordinated push to strengthen Africa’s diamond sector.
By committing 1% of its annual rough diamond revenue to a collective marketing fund managed by the National Diamond Council (NDC), Namibia is backing a unified effort to protect market share, stimulate global demand and counter the rise of synthetic alternatives.
Established in 2025, the Luanda Accord brings together African diamond-producing nations and industry leaders to jointly invest in the promotion of natural, ethically sourced diamonds. The message is clear: Africa is no longer leaving the story of its diamonds to others, it is investing to shape, protect and elevate it.
