Regional Strategies

There are more than 50 developing and transition countries where mining is or could become an important economic activity – with the potential to significantly influence regional and national development profiles. These include countries which are important mineral producers in the international marketplace, countries which are modest producers by international standards, but where mining makes an important contribution to the national or regional economy, and countries where small-scale or artisanal mining provide significant employment in rural or remote communities. We offer services to both governments and private sector firms so as to support private investment in developing countries' mining sectors, thereby creating a foundation for economic and social well-being.
