Deadline: 24 August 2015
The United Nations Development Programme UNDP is requesting proposals from organizations in Ghana for Social Analysis of Ghana’s Artisanal and Small Scale Mining Small Scale Mining Sector. This social analysis of ASM is aimed at informing the work of the UN and contributing to Ghana’s policies and strategies focused on the ASM sector and the CMV process, with a view to shedding light on the social sustainability dimensions and challenges.
Ghana is in the process of developing its Country Mining Vision (CMV).The African Mining Vision (AMV), to which Ghana seeks to align its CMV, seeks to foster “a transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development.” Amongst other objectives, the AMV encompasses a focus on promoting “a sustainable and well-governed mining sector that effectively garners and deploys resource rents and that is safe, healthy, gender and ethnically inclusive, environmentally friendly, socially responsible and appreciated by surrounding communities;” and “a mining sector that harnesses the potential of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) to stimulate local/national entrepreneurship, improve livelihoods and advance integrated rural social and economic development.”
Eligibility Information – The call for proposals is open to any organisation or company based in Ghana. Organisations may partner with one another to undertake this work, however UNDP will only be issuing one contract to one organisation.
Proposals must be submitted on or before deadline through email.
