Mining sector regulatory reforms in Chad and Burkina Faso
Overview
In Chad, the government has initiated a national workshop in N’Djamena to validate reforms to the mining code. Led by the Minister of Mines, Petroleum, and Geology, Fatima Haram Acyl, the reform seeks to modernize the legislative framework by improving transparency, governance, and traceability. Key objectives include enhancing environmental protection, safeguarding local community rights, and promoting local content through national employment and domestic mineral processing.
In Burkina Faso, the National Office for the Securing of Mining Sites (ONASSIM) held a workshop in Ouagadougou focused on conflict management. The initiative aims to provide regional governors, mining directors, and industry operators with tools to resolve disputes concerning land use, the coexistence of industrial and artisanal miners, and the distribution of socio-economic benefits. The program intends to improve state coordination and crisis anticipation across the nation’s 17 industrial mines and more than 800 artisanal sites.
