From Paper to Practice: Implementing the Mining Code Workshop

Workshop Overview  

On Saturday, August 12, 2017, a broad group of stakeholders, including country delegates, council members, contractors, observers, LTC members, and Finance Committee members, gathered in Ocho Rios, Jamaica to discuss their vision for the future of the ISA. During the day-long workshop, From Paper to Practice: Implementing the Mining Code, participants had the opportunity to share their perspectives on what will be required of the ISA as it evolves from a regulation-writing institution to a regulation-implementing institution, including the new institutional capacities that may be required and what can be learned from experiences in other national and international contexts. 

The workshop final report, agenda, and presentations are available below.
