The AMV’s main goal is to promote “transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources” in order to underpin “broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development”. An action plan comprising nine clusters - mineral rents and management, geological and mining information systems, human and institutional capacities, artisanal and small scale mining, mineral sector governance, research and development, environmental and social issue and linkages and diversification – was approved in December 2011 as the continental tool for guiding the prudent, transparent and efficient development and management of Africa’s mineral resources. The study therefore assessed the coherence of national policies and legislation to the AMV. Admittedly, this is the analytical stage required flexibility to national context. Nonetheless, the study was guided by the AMV action plan. The study, in this regard, assesses the extent to which the Mozambican national policies and legislation align with the action plan.
