The World Bank's Mining staff are active in engaging various stakeholders on mining and has a strong reputation in the mining industry and government. This reputation, and the Bank Group's convening power, allow the World Bank to play a key role in global partnerships and initiatives which will improve the contribution of mining to sustainable development. Currently, the focus is on four partnerships and initiatives:
- Business Partners for Development A project-based initiative that studies, supports and promotes strategic examples of partnerships involving business, civil society and government working together for the development of communities around the world.
- World Mines Ministries Forum A forum for mines ministers, policy makers, senior government officials, mining company executives and representatives of non-governmental organizations from around the world to discuss some of the key challenges facing mining countries. The World Bank Group is a member of the Steering Committee.
- Mining Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD). A two-year research and consultation effort to better understand and assess global mining and minerals use in terms of the transition to sustainable development — its track record in the past and its current contribution to and detraction from economic prosperity, human well-being, ecosystem health and accountable decision-making. The World Bank is a member of the Sponsor Group, as well as of the Assurance Group.
