While efforts have been made to increase transparency and good governance in Guinea’s extractive industries sector, industrial mining projects continue to impact the communities in which they are located. Following President Condé’s election in 2010 (until 2021), the Guinean government began the process of revising the country’s mining code and related secondary legislation. From 2012-2013, the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) and the Guinean organization Center for International Commerce and Development (French, Le Centre du Commerce International pour le Développement - CECIDE) assisted the government to draft legislation and policy documents that described how the mining code’s provisions on environmental impact assessments, local development funds, and compensation and resettlement standards will be implemented in practice. With funding from the US Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, ABA ROLI’s program, Protecting the Rights of Communities Impacted by Industrial Mining worked with CECIDE to solicit public input into the proposed policies and provided direct technical assistance to relevant ministries charged with the drafting process.
