Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development (PRADD) Pilot Program: Policy Review of Land Tenure, Natural Resource Management (NRM), and Mining Legislation that Determines, Regulates, or Influences Property Rights in Alluvial Diamond Mining Zones in the Republic of Guinea

摘要

Completion of a review of legislation in Guinea that regulates or influences property rights to land and natural resources in alluvial diamond mining areas was identified as a priority and stage-setting activity to be included in the program designed to achieve the Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development Pilot Program (PRADD) result 2: A mechanism for identifying and recognizing property rights holders is established in the target zones. Statutory policies are a significant part of the property rights context that the PRADD pilot project seeks to illuminate and strengthen. However, statutory rights in most African countries are best considered within a broad perspective.
