MINING CAPACITY BUIL

closed

The main objectives of the Mining Sector Capacity Building and Environmental Management Project are to help: (i) establish an enabling environment to both promote private investment in mining and to ensure real and sustainable contribution to economic growth; (ii) strengthen public and private sector capacity to effectively administer regulations and to monitor sector developments; and (iii) establish capacity in the country for environmental management. Additionally, the project aims to: (i) stimulate private sector response to the growing need for a variety of mining and environment related technical goods and services; and (ii) identify and adopt appropriate mechanisms to facilitate the development of small scale mines and to improve the social, health and environmental conditions of artisanal miners. The project will comprise four main components: 1) regulatory and fiscal framework and training; 2) institutional strengthening and resources management; 3) environmental management; and 4) small scale and artisanal mining.
