| Summary: | Mines have the potential to impact
communities and such impacts can be both positive and
negative. Historically, mines have played an important role
in impacted communities but that role usually ended with the
closure of the mine. More recently, there is a strong
interest by governments, communities and mining companies in
the sustained development of mine impacted communities. The
World Bank Group (WBG) has a role to play in mining-led
development at both the national and community level. The
purpose of this report is to provide draft model community
development agreement regulations suitable for adoption into
legislation or which can be modified for use as guidelines.
It is not the intent of this report to suggest that every
nation should adopt the model legislation, rather the model
legislation is simply another tool that governments can
consider as part, or not, of their development strategy. In
many nations, the promulgation of regulations is easier than
introducing a new or amended mining law, and thus, model
regulations were drafted rather than model mining law
provisions. This report is the product of a phased project
approach. Phase one was designed to prepare a draft set of
Community Development Agreement (CDA) regulations in
consultation with and benefiting from technical experts.
Phase two, of which this report is a part, was intended to
obtain feedback from a broad spectrum of stakeholders
including governments, private sector, non-governmental
organizations, civil society and development experts. |
