IBI has helped governments around the world improve their policies, laws and procedures to better serve their populations. Transparency and accountability are the key principles that guide our work in the technical areas listed below:

Mining Policy, Law and Administration

The recent boom in world market prices for minerals is driving expansion of the mining sector in many parts of the developing world. IBI has helped numerous African countries take advantage of this trend while developing the sound environmental and governance policies that maximize benefits and minimize risk. IBI has also implemented several projects designed to improve the ways in which small-scale mining, such as for gold and gemstones, contributes to alleviating rural poverty.
