The World Bank is financing the PARGFM programme in Burkina Faso - a project to support the strengthening of mining and land management in the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries. The overall objective is to ensure the sustainability of the country's mining industry, given its significant geological potential. The PARGFM includes a mining component that plans to invest in increasing geoscientific knowledge, strengthening the institutions involved in the mining and quarrying sector, and increasing the sector's contribution to the national economy.
Ginger SOFRECO is the technical assistant (TA) for the supervision of the following six geoscientific projects under the PARGFM's mining component: geological mapping, assessment of mining geochemical anomalies, prospecting for industrial minerals and quarries at the national level, airborne geophysics, transformation of the GIS into a Mining Hub for Burkina Faso, and restructuring of the mining cadastre. The main beneficiary is the Burkina Faso Bureau of Mines and Geology (BUMIGEB). To carry out this project, our team consists of a geological cartographer, a metallogist, a geophysicist, a geomatics engineer and a mining cadastre expert.
