The Government of Afghanistan (GoA), with support from the World Bank (WB), is currently developing a resource corridor strategy. One key aspect of this strategy is addressing the social issues around the mining sector and, more specifically, community benefits sharing. Through written and verbal exchanges with representatives from the Afghan ministry of mines, a number of issues have been highlighted. In this context, this policy note addresses the rationale for a community benefits sharing framework, the process and methodology of developing Community Development Agreements (CDAs), some major points that should be considered in CDAs (relationship building, ongoing communications, and the process of working with communities), and the governance of CDAs.
