PROJECT : The contribution of the Ivorian and Guinean mining sectors to local development: evaluation of the implementation of local mining development plans.
Mining companies operating in Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea contribute to local development by financing community development plans. However, the coexistence of community development plans and other development projects implemented within mining site communities raises the problem of the coherence of these varied development actions.
Moreover, as the ultimate aim of any development project is to have an impact on the lives of the target beneficiaries, the financing and implementation of development actions in the context of community development plans, while necessary, are not sufficient to assess the contribution of the Ivorian and Guinean mining sectors to local development. With this in mind, we decided to focus our thesis project on "the contribution of the Ivorian and Guinean mining sectors to local development". the contribution of the Ivorian and Guinean mining sectors to local development: assessing the implementation of local mining development plans ".
The central question we will attempt to answer through this study is: do the Ivorian and Guinean mining sectors contribute to local development through the implementation of Mining Local Development Plans?
The overall objective of our thesis project is to improve the socio-economic impact of Local Mining Development Plans.
More specifically, it involves :
- Assessing the implementation of local mining development plans in Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea;
- Propose a methodological guide to improve the formulation and implementation of local mining development plans in Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea.
Our thesis project will increase the social impact of mining projects in Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea. In the diagnostic phase, we will carry out a comparative study of the regulatory provisions of the Guinean and Ivorian mining codes, aimed at making mining companies major players in local development.
Collecting and analyzing data from mining project stakeholders will enable us to propose a methodological framework for designing, implementing and evaluating community development plans using a more participatory approach.
