• Guinea’s EITI implementation (Guinea has until 28 August 2012 to reach compliant status)
• and the election of PWYP Guinea’s coordination office.

1-2 September 2011 – PWYP Guinea members organised a workshop examining the new mining code that had been submitted to the National Transition Council and evaluated the extent to which civil society’s recommendations had been taken on board during its creation.

PWYP Guinea issued a declaration following this workshop (in French). They stated that civil society had indeed been consulted during the creation of the new mining code, noting that the code “takes the code of 1995, develops it, updates it and completes the clauses guaranteeing a transparent and responsible management of mineral exploitation”.
