| Summary: | This report presents recommendations to
assist the promotion of socially and environmentally
responsible artisanal mining practices, discusses
formalization of the artisanal mining sector, and advises
organization into cooperatives in the Central African
Republic. Best practices are outlined to improve the
working, living, and community conditions of artisanal
miners. The mining sector is an important source of revenue
for the Central African Republic, and the mineral wealth of
the country presents good potential in alluvial diamonds,
gold and uranium. The mining sector provides significant
employment opportunities through the artisanal and
small-scale subsector, and could become a significant source
of community development and economic growth. The
Government's ability to manage the mining sector is
limited, but this report provides information to enable the
Government to improve its management and competitiveness. |
