About AMLA - African Mining Legislation Atlas

The African Mining Legislation Atlas (AMLA) is a legislation gathering, organization, dissemination and capacity building and utilisation project with three main activities: • creation of the AMLA platform, a free online one-stop resource for Africa's mining legal framework (mining codes, regulations and related legislation) with interactive features to provide comparative data; • production of the Guiding Template, an annotated document that outlines a menu of legislative solutions to assist countries in the preparation or revision of their mining laws; • capacity building through training (on-ground and remotely) of African legal professionals and advanced law students (a) in the use of the platform and (b) on overall issues in mining law. The objective of the Project is to support African countries in maximizing mineral resource benefits by (i) promoting transparency, accessibility, and a comparison of Africa’s mining laws; (ii) facilitating the preparation, revision, and implementation of mining laws; (iii) providing a living database that will catalyze both research and policy debates on legal and regulatory issues; and (iv) promoting the development of local legal expertise on African mining sector. The AMLA Project was initiated by the World Bank Group (WBG) and the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) in 2013 in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC) and coordination with African law faculties from across the continent.
