Capacity strengthening of member States and RECs to implement and monitor AMV-aligned policies and strategies: training materials

Abstract

Mineral policy contains more than laws and regulations that directly influence mineral exploitation, extraction and processing. The overall goal of the African Mining Vision (AMV) is to create “a transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development”. The essential thrust of the capacity building training is to provide key aspects of strategic planning and project management. This involves skills for designing overall integration of the mineral sector into the national economy. Module 1: This module outlines links between mineral resources and potential benefits that contribute to growth. It encompasses various aspects of the tenets of the AMV. It also emphasizes the importance of stakeholder participation. Module 2: This module emphasizes the need for skills and knowledge development, which are critical for achieving the goal of broad-based socio-economic development. Module 3: This module explores the essence of sharing knowledge and information on emerging issues that affect the industry.
