Background: The ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme is a capacity building program that aims to build the profile, and improve the management, of Development Minerals. The program is an initiative of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States, financed by the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and implemented by UNDP. In comparison to the metals sector, Development Minerals have closer links with the local economy, and have the potential to generate more local jobs, with a greater impact on poverty reduction. This is partly because the sector is dominated by small and medium scale domestic businesses. Implemented by UNDP in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and Mining of Jamaica, the Programme conducted a baseline study for the Development Minerals sector in 2017 which recommended the implementation of a computerized Mining Cadastre for Jamaica. The Consultancy therefore seeks to recruit a highly seasoned consultant to implement a cadaster system for the Development Minerals sector in Jamaica. The Cadaster will serve as a tool for improved management of the mining sector.
Objective of Assignment: The consultant will deliver a comprehensive, upgradable Mining Cadastre of Development Minerals including bauxite, and areas of metallic minerals exploration in Jamaica. This Cadastre will facilitate an open and accountable management of natural resources/mineral assets and will provide an improved access to mineral information for public use for rapid decision-making. This access to information will include informing investment opportunities and considerations.
