PRADD Partnership Workshop

Event
Location:

The Tiffany & Co. Foundation 200 Fifth Avenue New York, New York 10010

USAID and the State Department hosted an event on December 12, 2011 at the Tiffany Foundation in New York City to continue discussions about potential partnerships between artisanal miners in Africa, NGOs and the American diamond industry.

This event was designed to continue discussions began in October 2011 exploring options for a model that had a syndicate of buyers and a cooperative of miners. The model would be part of of the Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development (PRADD), a joint USAID and State Department project, that works with mining communities and the governments of Liberia and CAR to increase the amount of alluvial diamonds entering the formal chain of custody while improving the benefits accruing to mining communities.
