Project Overview

The political and social conditions in the four member states of the Mano River Union – Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone – are particularly influenced by the mineral resources of the region. In recent years, all four states have established strategic, legal, and institutional frameworks for sustainable growth through mining sector exploitation. The project aims to improve the orientation of the mining sector towards environmental, social, and economic sustainability principles by applying a multi-stakeholder approach with partners from government, civil society, and the private sector at regional, national, and local levels.

GIZ is implementing this project on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation and the European Union, with headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
