African mining vision looking beyond the vision: an AMV compact with private sector leaders
The Africa Mining Vision (AMV) is a continental policy framework, adopted by all 54 African Union (AU) member countries in 2009. The Vision advocates for “Transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development". Successful implementation of the Vision hinges on participation by the private sector and other key regional and country stakeholders in Africa. This publication explains the background to the AMV and the development of the Compact (Sections 1 and 2) and sets out the context and the shared benefits of participation in the Compact (Sections 3 and 4). Section 5 sets the Principles of AMV Compact in overview, and by theme. Section 6 explains options for adoption of the Compact and the range of implementation modalities available. Section 7 compares and contracts the UN Global Compact and the sector-specific AMV Compact; and Section 8 offers conclusions. The annexes provide more details of the background to the development of the Vision, the UN Global Compact, and other source material.
