Industry Agenda Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Guinea

The Responsible Mineral Development Initiative (RMDI) in Guinea, facilitated by the World Economic Forum, sought to align stakeholders on how the mining sector can create value for the national economy. Through thematic workshops and a survey, the initiative identified critical gaps in trust and collaboration, leading to a strategic action plan focused on regulatory stability, infrastructure development, and community inclusion.

• The RMDI identified five priority thematic areas for the Guinean mining sector: the legal and regulatory framework for investment stability; the development of shared mining infrastructure for social and industrial purposes; transparent management and communication for community development; the regulation of artisanal mining for job creation; and the reinvestment of mining income into the national economy.
• A survey covering eight areas—including taxation, employment, environment, and supply chains—revealed a lack of alignment and trust among stakeholders, necessitating a permanent dialogue framework based on data and the expectations of all actors.
• Following a National Roundtable on 21 February 2017, several priority challenges were identified, including the need to accelerate the revision of mining law, reinforce precarious port and railway infrastructure, increase transparency in revenue management, and implement an anticorruption system.
• The RMDI process concluded with an agreed action plan to be integrated into the Guinean national mining strategy, which includes the creation of a permanent dialogue platform and a working group to pilot the implementation of the Roundtable's agreements.
