Book Description
The Geological and Mineral Information System (GMIS) Strategy is proposed by the African Mineral Development Centre (AMDC) to facilitate the strengthening of the African production, management and dissemination of geological and mineral information (GMI) in connection with the implementation of the African Mining Vision (AMV) and the domestication of the Country Mining Vision (CMV).The Strategy is expected to serve as a guide for the AMDC and its four implementing partners consisting of the African Union Commission (AUC), African Development Bank (AfDB), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) to provide strategic operational support for AU Member States and their Geological Survey Organizations (GSOs) and centres of excellence to improve GMIS, which will encourage investment across the whole Mineral Value Chain, facilitate price discovery for governments, support decision-making in contract negotiation and mining development and facilitate broad development processes.The GMIS Strategy sees geological and geospatial information as crucial for several important legal, economic, social and environmental applications in mining and broad development processes in Africa. It is planned to coordinate, set direction, create alignment, build commitment, promote collaboration, establish trust, mobilize supporters, and facilitate activities from different GMIS initiatives in the continent.
