CADRE D’ORIENTATION DES POLITIQUES MINIÈRES

The 2023 Mining Policy Framework (MPF), published by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) on behalf of the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF), outlines a systemic approach to mining governance. It covers six key areas: laws and institutions, financial benefits, socioeconomic benefits, environmental management, post-mining transition, and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The framework emphasizes the need for transparent fiscal regimes, the protection of human rights and indigenous peoples' consent, rigorous environmental standards to combat climate change, and the formalization of the ASM sector to improve livelihoods and safety.

• The framework advocates for a modern legislative regime that ensures transparency and accountability, requiring mining entities to share geological data with public administrations and allowing public access to mining contracts.
• To ensure sustainable development, the framework mandates that mining permits be contingent upon integrated social and environmental impact assessments, the documentation of community consultations, and the obtaining of free, prior, and informed consent from indigenous peoples where applicable.
• The framework recommends designing fiscal regimes that optimize public revenue based on project profitability and implement measures to prevent tax avoidance, base erosion, and profit shifting.
• Socioeconomic guidelines emphasize the integration of mining into local development plans, the prohibition of forced and child labor, and the active promotion of women and indigenous peoples in the mining workforce.
• Environmental management priorities include adopting standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet international climate goals and implementing watershed-level planning to address climate change risks.
• The framework requires robust post-mining transition planning, including the provision of adequate financial assurance to cover closure costs and the creation of land-use plans that are climate-resilient.
• For artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), the framework suggests creating specific legal frameworks to integrate operators into the formal economy and taking measures to eliminate the use of mercury and other toxic substances.
