Clear procedures. Information that stays connected.
Help miners and cooperatives understand procedures, prepare documents and follow their pathway.
04
Document the activity. Clarify the pathway.
Formalising mining is more than collecting documents. Miners need to understand steps, contacts, responsibilities and the conditions applying to their work.
CIFTAM combines information, document preparation, follow-up organisation and referrals to competent contacts.
Traceability connects identity, site, mineral sector, documents, operations and history. It helps explain the activity’s context and how files progress.
PRIORITIES
Guidance to reduce gaps.
01
Understanding procedures
Explain steps in accessible language, distinguishing the rule, the document to prepare and the decision expected.
02
Organising information
Link files, documents and references in a structured way. Corrections should preserve clear follow-up.
03
Proportionate coordination
Organise information exchanges around the pathway’s purpose and each participant’s role.
Clear roles. A better coordinated pathway.
CIFTAM support
Explain, prepare, organise and follow the pathway within the programme’s agreed scope.
Public authority
Issuing official documents, making public decisions, carrying out controls and collecting public revenues are the responsibilities of the competent authorities.
IDENTITY · OPERATIONS · EVIDENCE
Creating continuity for field information.
A documented profile, links to a site and a mineral supply chain, organised documents and a clear history all contribute to continuity of support.
The digital approach also covers sites, lots, movements and documents. Information can be linked to its operational context and update history.
An organised technical register makes it easier to find documents, track changes and maintain continuity between participants.
