Mining, Metals and Resource-based Development
An economically, legally, and operationally rational framework to enable shared use of mining-related infrastructure, including rail, ports, power, water, internet and telecommunications
With a grant from the Australian Government, CCSI distilled best practice principles from infrastructure developments around the world to develop an economically, legally, and operationally rational framework to enable shared use of mining-related infrastructure, including rail, ports, power, water, internet and telecommunications. The framework benefitted from in-depth case studies in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Mozambique, although its principles aim to be of general relevance to all resource-rich African countries. The Framework to Approach Shared-Use of Mining Related Infrastructure was finalized in March 2014.
In developing the framework, CCSI hosted an expert consultation workshop. Click the Download button to read the summary of the discussions, and view the workshop presentations: introduction, power, internet and telecommunications, rail and ports, and water.
