Africa can adhere to responsible, AMV compliant mining practices

Abstract

Key players in the mining sector attending an industry partnership meeting for Mining and Metals session organized by the World Economic Forum and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) have underscored that the window of opportunity provided by rising commodity prices must correspond to a rise in revenues for African governments by equal measure. Held on 8 May, the session was aimed at examining how the Africa Mining Vision and its goal of facilitating transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development can be translated into national mining visions, developed from a fully transparent and inclusive process.
