Greater Value for Gold This project will empower rural communities dependent on artisanal gold mining to advance their own vision of ‘development’, by (i)	Developing more favourable commercial partnerships in the gold sector through the establishment of community controlled gold buying hubs, comptoirs, which will invest returns in community development, with particular attention placed on gender equality; (ii)	Gathering knowledge and local voices to inform policy dialogue and legal interventions on artisanal gold mining in Mali, as the political situation allows that; and (iii)	Sharing lessons learned at local, national, regional and international fora throughin-person exchange with other artisanal mining communities and highlighting the voices of artisanal miners through blogs, webinars and attendance at key OECD and EU mining policy events.The project will equip one community in the Guandiaka commune with a well-functioning central gold buying hub. The office will be located on the main gold mining site and will allow for better control of production and support to combat illegal gold trafficking between the production zone and the neighbouring countries of Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire.The revenue from this buying hub will contribute to community and village development in the main site, as well as the satellite sites through exchange and learning as well as advancements to social and health infrastructure.This approach will be shared with three other “learning sites” where representatives of local artisanal miners will be able to access training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to establish their own buying hubs and potentially replicate the model.

Spatial Development Plan Truong Giang region, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam Truong Giang runs north-south from Cua Dai river mouth to Cua Lo river mouth connecting the downstream of Vu Gia - Thu Bon rivers in the north and Tam Ky - An Tan rivers system in the south. The river is about 67 km length, it is one of the main flows to drain the water during the flood season and waterway route in the region's inland waterway transport network. However, with the characteristics of the central estuaries, under the influences of mud, sea sand and aquaculture activities, the riverbed is filled by sedimentations. This has contributed to narrowing the rivers floodplain and significantly reducing the flood drainage capacity as well as the water transport capacity.Along the Truong Giang River, there are many important points where erosion often occurs, such as curved river sections, or weak soil of the riverbanks. This narrow river is adjacent to densely populated areas that require additional protection from landslides in the rainy season, along with river and coastal flood protection. The Truong Giang borders Hoi An to the north and has significant economic potential, including tourism development.  However, given the sensitive nature of the natural environment, as described above, development must be managed carefully to avoid locking in new risk and to enable resilient and productive development.  The PPC is seeking guidance on how best to manage the development. To support Quang Nam province, the World Bank and the Dutch Government are looking for a qualified international consultancy firm to:I.	To develop a Spatial Development Plan including initial Project Identification and potential Implementation Pathways for the area south of Hoi An between Truong Giang river and the sea that:-	Builds on existing knowledge and research, connected to governmental and private ambitions for the region;-	Recognizes the risks, needs, opportunities and challenges of the region;-	Identifies and minimizes conflicts between industries and localities in the exploitation and use of natural resources, serving the parallel needs of socio-economic development, environmental protection (and or restoration)-	According to an inclusive, integrated and innovative and design driven approach.II.	To develop, strengthen and advocate for innovative, integral and/or nature-based solutions for riverbank protection in a Basic Design for the Truong Giang river, connected to the Feasibility Phase of the World Bank financed Integrated Resilient Development Project (IRDP) in Quang Nam and integral part of the Spatial Development Plan Focus will be on generating basic design(s), calculations, modelling, visualisations, etc. which build on the advice, alternative approaches and technical solutions for riverbank protection of Truong Giang river, presented by the previous Dutch/Vietnamese team that was involved during the pre-feasibility phase of the IRDP.
