Planning for Integrated Mine Closure: Toolkit
This document presents an Integrated Mine Closure Planning Toolkit for the mining and metals sector. The toolkit is intended to be used to promote a more disciplined approach to integrated closure planning and to increase the uniformity of good practices across the sector. The concepts apply equally well to both large and small companies.
Dynamic Mineral Resources Management: Anosy Case Study
The proposed World Bank’s Dynamic Mineral Resources Management system approach provides for holistic integration of mineral potential and infrastructure development, and the corresponding impacts of the two on the systems around them.Modifying Infrastructure Procurement to Enhance Social Development
The aim of the study is to identify opportunities to improve the delivery of social development objectives by modifying the way in which infrastructure projects are procured. The focus of research is public procurement of infrastructure in low and middle-income countries. This is an opportune time for such a study as investment in infrastructure is set to increase dramatically in the developing world in the near future.Private Sector Development in Reintegration and Reconstruction Programmes
This paper develops a framework for private sector promotion in post-conflict environments. It begins by analysing the evidence that draws the link between economic development and conflict. This is followed by an encapsulation of current trends in economic development. The purpose is to establish the broader range of private sector development options under normal circumstances. Post-conflict conditions are then examined to narrow down the field of potential interventions. This includes a brief survey on current approaches to emergency aid, reconstruction and reintegration programmes. The resulting framework for private sector development incorporates the intersection of short-term reconstruction processes and long-term economic development strategies.Mainstreaming Conservation in Infrastructure Projects: Case Studies from Latin America
This report exemplifies the kinds of win-wins that can be devised in large infrastructure projects when accounting for both direct and induced impacts on biodiversity, natural habitats, and ecosystem functions. The paper summarizes the results of an in-depth analysis of eight case study projects from the LCR region that demonstrate the significant potential for achieving substantial environmental benefit through infrastructure investments. Close evaluation of these successful experiences reveals that win-win outcomes can be achieved by carefully planning and executing conservation actions throughout the project’s lifetime.

Participatory Evaluation: Tools for Managing Change in Water and Sanitation
This document provides policymakers, managers, and planning and evaluation staff with ideas about participatory processes and indicators that can be used to involve community members and others in program evaluation. Drawing upon experience gained during the past fifteen years in more than twenty countries, the volume is structured around a framework of key indicators that can be measured to determine progress toward the objectives of sustainability, effective use, and replicability in water and sanitation programs. The methodology is relevant to other sectors, as well.
Mine Planning for Environmental Protection
This module examines one crucial part of the mineral extraction process – how mine planning for environment protection can help in developing projects that meet community expectations for minimal environmental impacts.
