Summary: | This study has focused on the third
factor, specifically, the creation of local benefits through
supplier linkages. The World Bank commissioned a pilot
study to inform the nature and scale of potential support to
the three Central Asian countries, with the goal of
mining-related domestic procurement serving as an instrument
to increase employment and industrialization. This document
presents on the findings of the study, undertaken by
Community Insights Group during the period May to July 2013.
The report starts with an overview of current global trends
with respect to domestic procurement by mining operations.
Sections 3-5 describe the situation in Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan with regard to company legal
obligations and practices, and government programs and
capacities to support domestic SMEs supplying the mining
industry. The situation analysis is followed by a summary of
case studies (Section 6) undertaken with mining operations
to determine their current procurement needs, current local
procurement efforts, and barriers to increasing procurement.
The case studies also included the perspective of local
suppliers and potential local suppliers. The report closes
with a set of recommendations for World Bank consideration,
to guide future interventions. |
