DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Washington, DC seeks a vendor to provide regional economic integration framework implementation services under a four-year contract. The program is intended to improve governance and regulation, attract American and foreign investment, counter corruption and unfair practices, and promote sustainable economic growth in critical minerals investment.
The work will focus on strengthening mining-sector governance and regulatory policies, improving transparency and licit trade, and conducting a political economy baseline assessment of key regulatory bodies, trade synergies, and historical regulatory deficiencies. The program will also promote responsible investment and trusted information and communications technology infrastructure.
Potential technology solutions may include blockchain or other secure information-management tools supporting a Trade Information Portal. The portal would provide cross-border traders, smelters, refiners, and downstream companies with real-time sourcing information and auditable chain-of-custody data, including security incidents, to help demonstrate that minerals do not finance armed conflict or support other malign actors. Conferences, awareness campaigns, multi-stakeholder dialogues, and communications activities may also be required as standalone deliverables.
