The study focused on three Mano River Union (MRU) countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, all categorized as mineral-rich countries which earn - or could earn (in the case of Liberia) - significant revenues from exports of bauxite, iron ore, rutile, gold, and diamonds. WAMSSA featured an analytical component, and an extensive consultation process designed to initiate a policy dialogue on improving mineral sector governance and enhancing the benefits of mineral sector development for the MRU region. This report summarizes the findings of the WAMSSA process, and provides a series of recommendations to address environmental, social, and governance priorities highlighted by analytical and consultation components of the assessment. The recommendations are intended to provide guidance to the African Mineral Governance Program (AMGP) and Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative Plus Plus initiatives that are gathering momentum in the region. 2012-03-19T10:24:16Z 2012-03-19T10:24:16Z 2010-03-31 http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?menuPK=64187510&pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000334955_20100908031159 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/2902 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank Economic & Sector Work :: Mining/Oil and Gas Africa
