The Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) is hosting an international conference on “Geological Resources and Good Governance in Central Africa” supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR).  

The conference will explore potential ways of distributing the abundant mineral resources available in the Central African states more equitably with a view of making a direct contribution to development and poverty control. In addition, the conference will bring the various actors on board for a strategy of sustainable, transparent management of natural resources and good governance. For more info, visit  http://www.yaounde2009.net/
