The Botswana Mining Investment and
Governance Review (MInGov) collects and shares information
on mining sector governance, its attractiveness to investors
and how its activities affect national development. It
reviews sector performance from the perspective of three
main stakeholder groups – government, investors in the
mining value chain and civil society – and identifies gaps
between declared and actual government policy and practice.
The reviews findings are: Performance across the minerals
value chain is better in the latter stages related to
investment, accumulation, and expenditure of mineral
revenue. The mining policy and legal framework are largely
sound. The environmental protection legislation is quite
current and mostly based on ‘good practice’ except for
access to Environmental Impact Assessments. Land use issues,
including resettlement and compensation, require a more
inclusive process and stronger legislated framework. A
local content policy for the mining industry should be
developed with mining sector participation to ensure that
both the needs of government and industry are met.
Institutions are for the most part staffed with trained,
qualified people although sometimes there are not sufficient
numbers of staff with the required experience. The top
shared priority by all three stakeholder groups is Sector
Management and Intragovernmental Coordination. MInGov’s
methodology focuses on the status of governance and
investment conditions in the mining sector from the
perspective of stakeholders, and as reportedin primary and
secondary sources. |
