Togolese government committed to improving access to mining information with Mining Governance Development Project

(Togo First) - From credible sources, we learnt that the government wishes to boost access to mining-related information, through the Mining Governance Development Project (PDGM).

In this framework, it plans to put in place a team to draw specifications related to the creation and commissioning of an information access system. The latter’s goal is to disseminate information on mining operations and its technical aspects. The system will also provide information on equipment, academic tools and good practices in the mining and related sectors.

The main component of this project consists in developing efficient mechanisms for the collection and release of sector-focused information, to which will be integrated data on extractive industry. Also, steps will be drawn for the establishment of the mining information centre (CIM).

The team in charge of specifications will also suggest partnerships and provide institutional framework for CIM. Finally, it will draw a business plan to insure the latter’s sustainability.

All these fall under the responsibility of the team but first it will proceed to an initial analysis of systems of access to mining information. To this end, involved parties will meet regularly to ease data collection. The first meeting will be held on March 18, at the Directorate-General of Mines and Geology.
