This analytical work aims to support the national, subnational and local governments' efforts to develop an inclusive and green mining sector as a harbinger for broad based multi-sector growth of the Peruvian economy that would be tested in the Apurimac region where strategic sustainable development options, investment strategies and associated environmental policy options will be developed. The components analytical work will identify policy options to (i) minimize the costs and environmental conflicts associated with capital investment in the mining sector; (ii) maximize the opportunities for benefit sharing on environmental protection; and, (iii) promote the adoption of ethical mining and corporate social and environmental responsibility programs. The analytical work will include a public participation process to develop a common vision, identify priorities and formulate an Action Plan for enhancing environmental and social sustainability of mining at the national level in Peru and in greater detail in the Apurimac region. This would require the introduction of strategic economic and development planning methods and approaches to achieve broad-based growth driven by mining sector development.
