COVID-19 Emergency Response for ASM

In April 2020, EGPS financed a systematic data collection exercise on how COVID-19 has affected ASM communities. The task team worked with 17 partners across 22 countries and published the results on the Delve platform. The research findings revealed encouragingly high levels of COVID-19 health awareness in remote mining communities.

Extractives-Led Local Economic Diversification (ELLED) Program

As part of its ELLED program, EGPS promotes local economic diversification and the development of competitive local industries in mineral and hydrocarbons rich economies. ELLED supports cutting-edge research and the systematization and sharing of existing knowledge to address extractives-related policy challenges, including climate smart investment, strategic spatial planning, forward looking value chains, and the development of network economies.

Local Economic Diversification

Local Economic Diversification Many resource-rich countries stepped up their local content requirements to stimulate local demand and employment. With EGPS funding, the World Bank developed an analytical tool—GeoChains—to help identify sustainable multi-sector development strategies in regions where extractive projects are prominent.

Mining Sector Diagnostic (MSD)

The Mining Sector Diagnostic (MSD) is a diagnostic tool that is used to comprehensively assess a country’s mining sector. The tool analyzes primary data (the country’s documented laws, rules and regulations) and interview data (from in-country interviews with stakeholders from government, industry, and civil society) to clearly identify the mining sector’s relative strengths and weaknesses.
