The document discusses the implementation of the African Mining Vision (AMV) and provides an assessment of its progress. Some key points: - The AMV was adopted in 2009 with the goals of addressing poverty, developing infrastructure/skills, and industrializing Africa through sustainable mining practices. - 17 countries have begun implementing the AMV through developing national mining visions and compliance policies. Liberia and Sierra Leone were identified as "champions" but have only achieved around 35-40% compliance. - An assessment shows limited real impact on human development in AMV countries compared to non-members. While the goals of the AMV are important, it may have been too ambitious and not focused enough in its

downstream issues (such as licensing,
purchasing, property, corporate social
responsibility, sustainable development, etc.).
In 2008, as part of the follow-up to the 2007
round table, the African Development Bank
(AfDB) set up an African Legal Support Facility

14. AFRICAN MINING VISION
2. AMBITIONS AND PRECONDITIONS NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
To paraphrase the official document, AMV aims to address several continental problems:
1. Development of human resources and skills acquisition in conjunction with the development of technological
agglomerations of resources through the facilitation of research and development (R & D) and the establishment
of networks of knowledge and segments including academics , industries, government and other actors;
2. Establish support infrastructure including roads, energy and water projects and telecommunications networks
3. Encourage the establishment of a critical mass of similar, secondary, interdependent and associated key industry
players who collaborate and sympathize to improve the initial benefit factor, boosting competence, innovation and
diversification;
4. Promote local enrichment and value addition of minerals to obtain the raw material for industrial production;
5. Establish an industrial base through upstream and downstream correlation;
6. Encourage and support small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate them into the production chain;
7. Increase trust and participation of the private sector;
8. Create necessary capital and commodity incentive markets;
9. Facilitate research and development (R & D) and build networks and knowledge segments with academics,
industries, government and other stakeholders; and
10. Exploit the potential Private Public Partnership (PPP).

15. AFRICAN MINING VISION
2. AMBITIONS AND PRECONDITIONS NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
The AMV is built around 7 main pillars namely:
Pilar 1: Creating greater knowledge and benefits of mineral resources at all
levels of mining and for all minerals;
Pilar 2: Promoting small scale mining to improve rural livelihoods and
integration into the rural and national economy;
Pilar 3: Promoting environmental and social responsible mining;
Pilar 4: Building human and institutional capacities that support innovation,
research and development;
Pilar 5: Developing a diversified and globally competitive African mineral
industry which contributes to economic and social growth through the
creation of economic linkages;
Pilar 6: Building a transparent and accountable mineral sector in which
resources are maximized and used to promote broad economic and social
development; and
Pilar 7: Promoting good governance of the mineral sector, which ensures
participation in mineral assets and equity in the distribution of benefits.

3. MODALITIES OF IMPLEMENTATION
• A specialized AU/UN agency has been set up to help African states
implement this vision effectively: 'African Minerals Development
Center'.
• This agency has developed a set of instruments and protocols
aimed at operationalizing the mineral vision at the national level
(A COUNTRY MINING VISION GUIDEBOOK),
• The implementation of this guide book will lead to the
development of another very important strategic document, the
COUNTRY MINING VISION.

17. AFRICAN MINING VISION
4. IMPLEMENTATION AND RESULTS
• Over the period 0f 5 Years (2009-2013) it was planned to implement 80 priority
actions.
• HOW TO ASSESS THE FINAL RESULT?
2 options for the assessment of the current situation of the implementation of the
AMV:
• Option 1: Follow up on the implementation of the strategic plan through short-
term, medium-term and long-term actions (country by country, region by
region and institutions by institutions).
• Option 2: Either we consider that the implementation of the AMV first passing
by a political commitment of States, we can in this condition make a country by
country assessment (but only for the country who worked officially with the
Agency.)

18. AFRICAN MINING VISION
4. IMPLEMENTATION AND RESULTS
How many African states have expressed the wish to implement the AMV at the national level?
• 54 African states officially adopted the AMV in Addis Ababa in 2009;
• Seventeen (17) African states 31% of the continent have started to implement the AMV.
• The table below shows us by region which countries have already requested the intervention of the Center.

25. THE CAUSES OF THE CURRENT SITUATION AND
HOW TO MOVE
1. Too ambitious….Not Focus (prof. Chinois)
2. No consideration for geostrategic aspects
3. No real link between Africa Industrialisation
Strategy and AMV
1. Not binding

26. WHAT DO WE WANT TO FIX WITH AMV?
No focus….
Poverty
Education
Women Empowerment
Youth Empowerment

27. THE CAUSES OF THE CURRENT SITUATION
AND HOW TO MOVE
1. NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE GEOSTRATEGIC ISSUES
Transforming our raw material in Africa and sold them to western
will involve for them:
1. Lost or reduction of the control of Natural Resources (strategic and vital
products)
2. Industrialized countries will lost jobs in their regions (the transfer of
technologies in Africa will involve lost of jobs)
3. Industrialized countries will pay more for our products
4. Industrialized countries will lose huge income coming for Natural Resources

28. THE CAUSES OF THE CURRENT SITUATION AND
HOW TO MOVE
3. NO FULLY LINK TO AFRICA INDUSTRIALISATION (AND NEEDS)
• AMV is based on the approach that we will transform partially
our totally our raw material and sell them to the industrialized
countries and have better incomes
• AMV didn’t link the fact that we can process our raw material for
the African industries and for the need for African production

29. THE CAUSES OF THE CURRENT SITUATION
AND HOW TO MOVE
4. NOT BINDING?
Like all the pan African instruments, AMV implementation is on
willingness basis. And it is not binding.
