Scoping Study to identify viable initiatives to assist Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and communities adjacent to the Mining Sector (2002)
Project Objectives:
To carry out a fully independent audit of the impacts of gold mining on the Malian economy and to verify the metallurgical and financial accounting of the large international companies who were operating four gold mines in the country.
Our Role:
Through extensive consultations, SLR identified ways to support SMEs providing products and services to mining operators and/or the sector's supply chain, contributing to sustainable development and 'backward linkages' of mining, including a review of potential new opportunities for SMEs.
SLR developed a "blue print" for an IFC assistance implementation program, including project design, projection of impact, management structure, estimate of timing, duration and cost.
