Abstract
"Why have some countries - but not others - leveraged their natural resource endowments to create a better life for their people? What specific policies and practices should the mining industry, governments, local communities and development agencies adopt to promote broader economic and social development? ICMM's Mining Partnerships for Development (MPD) work has investigated these questions through a series of country case studies, of which Brazil is the sixth. This study covers the macroeconomic impacts of the mining sector as a whole, with a particular focus on the local-level impacts of mining in Pará State in northern Brazil. Brazilian national, state and local government agencies and a range of mining stakeholders participated in this and earlier studies under the MPD work (including the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, UNCTAD, Harvard Kennedy's School Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative, Inter-American Development Bank and UN Economic Commission for Africa). ICMM presented draft findings of the Brazil study to representatives from federal and state government agencies, companies, civil society organizations, academia and labour groups at a one-day workshop on 29 February 2012 in Brasilia."
