Conference theme

Harnessing potential mining investment in Eastern Africa Overview The Mining Business & Investment Conference (MBI) is an eastern African forum held annually under the auspices of Prescon Limited and Kenya Chamber of Mines. Now in its 4th year, the conference is held with the goal of promoting the mining sector in Eastern Africa by providing a platform for the discussion of pertinent issues in the mining business and prospecting on the available opportunities for investment.

The MBI brings together industry stakeholders, public sector and potential investors to craft strategies for the growth of the mining industry which would play a great role in the development of the Eastern African region.

This follows the recent discoveries of numerous minerals in the Eastern African region which have proven to be commercially viable, sparking international interest in their extraction.

Over the last four years, the MBI Eastern Africa conference has played a key role in harnessing the potential inherent in the Eastern African mining scene by increasing awareness of the resources available and showcasing the different ways in which companies and individuals can participate in the industry. The conference has also been instrumental in seeking solutions to industry issues such as policy, legislation and project financing.

OUR PARTNERS

United Nations Development Programme Extractive Industry for Sustainable Human Development The Government of Kenya in recognition of the importance of the new discoveries and the economic potential of natural resources, has prioritized Oil and other Minerals in its Vision 2030 and Medium Term Plan II (MTP II). Under the Economic Pillar in the MTP II, the seventh priority includes Oil and other Minerals and lists over 20 projects that the Government of Kenya will implement during the 2013-2017 timeframe. During the first half of 2014 the Government of Kenya focused its work on updating relevant legislations and policies. Specifically, the Draft Mining Bill, the Draft Energy Bill and Draft National Energy Policy were developed during the first six months of the year.

The United Nations (UN) System in Kenya has aligned its programming with Government of Kenya’s development priorities articulated in the MTP II through the new United Nations Development Framework (UNDAF) 2014-2018.

UNDP Global Programme for Extractive Industries and UNDP Regional Africa Programme for Extractive Industries, UNDP Kenya developed the “Extractive Industries for Sustainable Human Development” project. The project aims to improve the lives of people living in areas endowed with natural resources by improving governance, economic empowerment, promoting peace and environmental sustainability, generate employment opportunities particularly for women, youth and marginalized groups, and invest in community development and social services. Emanating from the UNDAF, the UNDP Country Programme Document (CPD) for 2014-2018 has similarly prioritized activities to ensure sustainable human development for communities endowed with natural resources.

The Extractive Industries for Sustainable Human Development, a UNDP Kenya project began in January 2014. During the first year of project implementation, the planned activities arebeing effected in four counties selected according to human development criteria, geographical and natural resource diversity. The project is designed to work closely with the County Governments of Turkana, Kitui, Kwale and TaitaTaveta.

Working with the Ministry of Mining and other government stakeholders,theimplementation of the project is done through a National Steering Committee and a Technical Steering Committee.

The project activities include; Participatory decision-making fora established to institutionalize participation and inclusion of communities in decisions on extractive industries, to safeguard rights and promote collaborative engagement between communities, government and private sector. The activities under this output include;

Developing capacities in extractive Industries, this will be achieved by support capacity development of communities by raising awareness and enhancing their participation in Extractive Industries projects; developing information dissemination mechanisms through training of media personnel; supporting capacity development for regulation of artisanal and small-scale mining and conducting a collaborative leadership training for leaders on conflict-sensitive approaches to extractive industries.

UNDP’s Communication Team in partnership with the Media Council of Kenya organized county level trainings for local journalists on the extractive sector in Kwale, Turkana and Kitui. It also involved the training of editors in Nairobi to ensure those reporting on Extractive Industries understand the extractive process and can accurately report on issues concerning communities and human development.

Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in Extractive Industry established through supporting the establishment of dispute resolution mechanisms to address conflicts between communities and private companies or within communities over extraction activities.

Under the second outcome; Public institutions, the private sector and civil society have systems to ensure transparent, accountable and inclusive management of revenues from extractive industries. Activities under this output include: Extractive Industry Partnerships developed and maintained by: Organizing Private-Public-Dialogue (PPD); conducting a review of experiences with community investment funds in other countries and building on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of extractive companies and enhancing capacities of SMEs in Extractive Industry.

Legal, policy frameworks and institutional capacity is in place to effectively support sustainable management of the extractive sector. Activities under this output include: Completion of Extractive Industry assessments and studies: to undertake studies on artisanal and small-scale mining to identify the economic and job creation potentials; to conduct a study on existing legislation, policy and formal and informal mechanisms for community participation and environmental sustainability; to undertake socio-economic studies and assessments to inform evidence based policy formulation and implementation in the extractive sector and to carry out conflict risk analyses to identify drivers of conflict, peace capacities, traditional and non-traditional dispute resolution mechanisms.

Institutional capacity developed by supporting the capacity of government institutions to carry out monitoring and enforcement of environmental standards, laws and regulations; as well as capacity to develop policy and legal frameworks on the decommissioning of mines.
