African mineral and energy resources classification and management system (AMREC) / Классификация минеральных и энергетических ресурсов Африки и система управления ими

African Mineral and Energy Resources Classification and Management System (AMREC) is a continental system for management of Africa’s mineral and energy resources.

The AMREC is based on United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) Principles, Generic Specifications and Guidelines and is aligned to Africa Mining Vision (AMV) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Adapting to national or local needs, the AMREC provides the specifications and guidelines required for sustainable development of Africa’s mineral and energy resources.

The objective of the document is to provide comprehensive guidance on sustainable energy and mineral resource management in Africa for the following functions:

- Regional Africa resource management: To enable and support coherent and consistent regional resource classification and management policies and associated regulations at African Union level in the service of delivering the African Union Agenda 2063 and the Africa Mining Vision.

- National resource management: To assist the development and implementation of sustainable resource management policies and regulations at national level.

- Company internal business process innovation: To enable companies to develop and adopt business processes that are sustainable, profitable, socially inclusive, environmentally responsible and resilient

- Financial reporting: To enable companies to report resource assets and raise finances from appropriate financial institutions in a manner consistent with international standards and good practices.

This document should be read and applied in conjunction with the latest version of UNFC and its Generic Specifications. Appropriate sectoral specifications, standards and guidelines (Minerals, Petroleum, Renewable Energy, Nuclear Fuels) should be applied for the concerned sectors. <...>
