ELLED Program

The Extractives-Led Local Economic Diversification (ELLED) program, managed by the Energy and Extractives Global Practice of the World Bank with financial support from the Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS), promotes local economic diversification and the development of competitive local industries in mineral and hydrocarbons rich economies. It supports cutting-edge research and the systematization and sharing of existing knowledge to address extractives-related policy challenges, including climate smart investment, strategic spatial planning, forward looking value chains, and the development of network economies. The ELLED CoP is a central part of the ELLED Program.

 

Engineers Without Borders

The Mining Shared Value Initiative (MSV) of Engineers Without Borders has joined the CoP Secretariat and has taken up the responsibility to administer the CoP. Together we will be working to ensure that the ELLED CoP continues to deliver on knowledge exchange to help share best practice, facilitate members interaction, and support continuous professional learning.
