Mining Community Development Agreements : Source Book

The aim of this document is to support strategic and collaborative community development planning by governments, companies, civil society, and communities by presenting a basic framework for Community Development Agreements in the context of the mining industry. In particular, this document is a tool for governments and policymakers at all levels, as they strive to support their communities—economically and socially—through the sustainable development of mineral resources. It should inform policymakers of the process and content of best-practice CDAs, allowing improved results from CDA development.
