The Economic Commission for Africa, Sub-Regional Office for West Africa participated in a meeting of pan-African networks of civil society organizations (CSOs) working on mining and development, hosted by Third World Network – Africa in Accra, Ghana, between 26 and 29 June 2012. Held under the theme “African Mining: From Boom and Dislocation to Boom and Transformation,” the meeting sought to strengthen the understanding of the African Mining Vision (AMV) and its action plan among CSOs. It also provided a platform for the CSOs to strategize on their advocacy work from a more knowledgeable position on the AMV and its processes. The presentations made during the meeting covered concrete topics related to the AMV, such as mining sector linkages and economic growth and development, South-South cooperation on mining and infrastructure development, international mineral commodity developments, mining sector fiscal regimes, mining and environmental challenges, and small scale mining.
