2023 AND 2024 REPORTS IN PROGRESS
Members of the interministerial committee for the review and validation of the mine rehabilitation and closure plans held a meeting this Friday, January 24, 2025, in the meeting room of the Environmental Intervention Fund (FIE) in Ouagadougou.
The meeting focused on the validation of the terms of reference for the preparation of the two annual reports and the framework for the preparation of said reports. It should be noted that a draft terms of reference and a reporting plan were proposed for the 2023 and 2024 annual reports.
The validation of these documents will ultimately make it possible to draw up the draft interministerial annual reports on the status and management of the Mine Rehabilitation and Closure Fund for the years 2023 and 2024.
In this respect, the participants are responsible for reporting the contributions to the Mine Rehabilitation and Closure Fund as of December 31, 2023; reporting the contributions to the Mine Rehabilitation and Closure Fund as of December 31, 2024 and verifying the effectiveness of the transfers of contributions from the various mining companies and industrial quarries to the Mine Rehabilitation and Closure Fund to the Central Bank of African States (BCEAO) for the year 2023.
