11. Case Study: QMM-Pact Alliance Mitigating environmental degradation and rural poverty QMM (Rio Tinto) –Interests in three major mineral deposits in remote, undeveloped but environmentally rich Anosy region –Disseminates research within investment zone via LARO regional development framework Linking Actors for Regional Opportunities (LARO) –Implemented by PACT and QMM –Supports Anosy regional development framework –Integrates environmental issues as a cross-cutting concern within local and regional planning and development framework

13. Interim Results Fort Dauphin Urban Development Plan designated a World Bank ‘growth pole’ –Alliance could expand into ‘mega’ alliance involving Rio Tinto investment decision and World Bank support of international sea port, highway, and free trade zone original alliance would keep environmental issues on table at local and regional level Community education in resource management –120,000 seedling nursery to reforest 120 hectares in Anosy –professional aquaculture training center planned Case Study: QMM-Pact Alliance Mitigating environmental degradation and rural poverty

14. Lesson 1 Natural resource management programmed through democracy and governance framework results in integrated, cross-cutting concern for environment Democracy and governance framework better allows new partners to join alliance –local –regional –federal –transnational Case Study: QMM-Pact Alliance Mitigating environmental degradation and rural poverty

15. Lesson 2 Extractive partner timeline differs from donor timeline –Rio Tinto 15 year presence exploring mining interests in Anosy decision pending on $500 million investment over 50-60 years –USAID programs typically last 1-5 years strategies 3-10 years Case Study: QMM-Pact Alliance Mitigating environmental degradation and rural poverty

16. Lesson 2, continued Extractive partner timeline differs from donor timeline pro –Private sector partner closer to long term development focus con –Private sector partner can hold off on substantive contributions in short/medium run QMM-Pact Alliance
