Détails significatifs

This request for support was the direct result of a tailing dam failure that caused a few hundred casualties earlier this year. The NCEA was asked to present good practice ESIA and SEA cases showing their potential and value for improving governance of the mining sector. The mining authorities are very much interested in the development of SEA to support strategic planning of the mining sector in Minas Gerais. The DRR report can be accessed here.
