Ce projet soutient le développement économique durable et la réduction de la pauvreté, avec l’accent mis sur les femmes et les jeunes, ainsi qu’une gouvernance responsable dans trois régions minières : la Région sahélienne au Burkina Faso, la Région de l’ouest du Ghana et la Préfecture de Boké en Guinée. Ce projet est réalisé en collaboration avec le secteur privé, les gouvernements locaux, les Chambres des mines et les collectivités et a pour but de maximiser les retombées sociales et économiques pour les collectivités (particulièrement les femmes et les jeunes) des opérations de l’industrie extractive. En identifiant les opportunités commerciales pour les collectivités et en en renforçant les entreprises locales et nationales, le développement durable des ressources naturelles est valorisé afin de permettre à l’économie dans son ensemble d’en tirer profit, favorisant l’extension des effets indirects et multiplicateurs de l’extraction des ressources. Les activités du projet incluent : (1) renforcer les services de formation axée sur les compétences et d’emplois locaux avec l’accent mis sur l’aide aux femmes et aux jeunes à acquérir des compétences professionnelles pertinentes au marché du travail ; (2) effectuer des évaluations de marchés afin d’identifier des voies et moyens d’augmenter les liens entre l’approvisionnement et la fourniture entre le secteur privé et les entreprises locales ; et (3) soutenir le partage de connaissances sur la gestion des ressources naturelles à travers les organisations et plateformes régionales, telles que la Communauté économique des États d'Afrique de l'Ouest (CEDEAO) et la Vision Minière pour l'Afrique. Le project vient de prendre fin le 31 mars 2022 avec succes dans les trois pays de mise en oeuvre, notammen le Burkina Faso, le Ghana et la Guinée.
This project supports inclusive sustainable economic development and poverty reduction, with a focus on women and youth, as well as accountable governance in three mining regions: the Sahel Region in Burkina Faso, the Western Region in Ghana, and the Préfecture de Boké in Guinea. The project works with the private sector, local governments, chambers of mines and communities and aims to enable communities (especially women and youth) to maximise the socio-economic benefits from extractive industry operations. By identifying business opportunities for communities and strengthening local and national businesses, sustainable natural resource development is leveraged to the benefit of the broader economy, expanding the indirect and multiplier effects of resource extraction. Project activities include: (1) strengthening local skills training and employment services, focusing on helping women and youth acquire market-relevant skills; (2) conducting market assessments to identify ways to enhance procurement and supply linkages between the private sector and local businesses; and (3) supporting knowledge-sharing on natural resources management through existing regional organizations and platforms, such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Mining Vision.
