Stakeholder consultation process schedule

On 19 September 2011, a national workshop was held in Conakry with national and international stakeholders in order to launch the social and environmental impact assessment process as well as to launch the stakeholder engagement consultation process. Following the Conakry workshop, a series of public workshops was organised in the Project relevant prefectures during the months of September and October.

A second series of workshops is also planned for January 2012 in order to continue informing the populations of the relevant prefectures and in order to discuss with them on the impacts of the Simandou Project.

The calendar for both series of consultations is as follows:

As the Project will require access to land, water and geological resources, another key element of the Simandou Project is the Resettlement and Compensation Action Plan (PARC) (Plan d'Action de Reinstallation et de Compensation). In order to access these resources, the Project will develop a resettlement and compensation programme which will be in line with Guinean regulations and the IFC Performance Standards (PS5).
