AFRICAN MINERALS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE (AMDC): JOB OPENING
The Africa Mining Vision was adopted by Heads of State at the February 2009 AU summit following the October 2008 meeting of African Ministers responsible for Mineral Resources Development. It is Africa’s own response to tackling the paradox of great mineral wealth existing side by side with pervasive poverty. The AMV also advocates thinking outside the “mining box”. Accordingly, it’s not just a question of improving mining regimes by making sure that tax revenues from mining are optimized and that the income is well spent – although that is clearly important.
For a holistic response, the African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) was launched in December 2013 to strategically coordinate the implementation of the African Mining Vision (AMV). The AMDC will coordinate activities including the provision of technical support for the implementation of the AMV, identifying gaps and areas of need and potential expertise to address those needs, undertaking and coordinating policy research, undertaking advocacy and information dissemination, monitoring and evaluating activities relating to the implementation of the AMV, and providing a think tank capacity for the AMV and the activities around it.
To this end, the centre in Guinea Conakry has announce its job opening and is calling for applications from qualified Africans for vacancies available in the secretariat. The new leadership, comprising minerals professionals, experts and administrators will lead AMDC operations. Here are some available vacancies you or anyone you know might be interested in:
