Current implementation programme (3T and Gold only) Implementation in the Great Lakes Region (Regional Certification Mechanism, OECD Due Diligence Guidance) – ongoing, to be scaled-up Outreach and implementation in other conflict-affected and high-risk areas (e.g. Côte d’Ivoire) - early stages Outreach and awareness raising in key markets for 3T and gold (e.g. China, India)– ongoing, more needed Bi-annual meetings of the ICGLR-OECD-UN GoE Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains

Forward-looking Forum agenda Continue with implementation in 3T and gold: – Strengthen and support initiatives – Understand and assess effectiveness Recognising that other natural resources may be linked to conflict: – Precious stones and other minerals – Timber, wildlife and fisheries – Oil & Gas – Water – Etc.

Principles for expanding scope of future work of the Forum Align with other initiatives and avoid duplication Seek relevant expertise Foster cross-learning from other initiatives and resources Expansion should not come at the cost of current implementation programme Expanded scope will require resources and time, and must be demand driven Forum can brainstorm and recommend to OECD bodies who decide

Future Forum meetings and priority work areas Thematic vs. supply chain focus – Option 1: One meeting per year open to all participants (Gold and 3T), and second meeting focused on either Gold or 3T – Option 2: One day of each meeting looking at the issues for both Gold and 3T, and spending the other 2 days on either Gold or 3T issues Upstream vs. downstream – Option: One meeting per year open to all participants (Gold and 3T) full supply chain, and second meeting focused on either upstream (Gold and 3T) or downstream (Gold and 3T) participants Other geographic focus – Option: One meeting in Paris, one meeting in the African Great Lakes region and beyond (e.g. West Africa, Latin America, Asia)
