1.0 NARRATIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Motivation

Mining is a major economic sector in Africa and in Zambia, for example, it contributes 9-10 % of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This major economic contribution of the mining sector, however, is associated with the region’s serious environmental liabilities and impacts on human health, ecosystems, water quality, land resources, energy, and derelict mine areas. This legacy of environmental challenges resulting from mining require education and training of a critical mass of human resources to research and develop solutions that lead to sustainable mining. This research and training requires good coordination and collaborations among higher education institutions in the region and mining companies and associated industries. The Copperbelt University Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Mining (CBU ACESM) has identified five (5) thematic education, training, and research areas to contribute towards sustainable mining:

(i) Occupational health and vulnerabilities, and risks to communities in mining environments;

(ii) Restoration of mined and derelict environments, and waste management;(iii) Energy use and mining, and process design;(iv) Monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem impacts; and(v) Livelihoods, entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.

1.2 Objectives

The CBU ACESM will pursue five (5) objectives:(i) Re-orientation of existing teaching and research programmes to address sustainable

mining as a crosscutting issue.(ii) Develop appropriate MSc., MPhil., PhD and post-doctoral research programmes to

tackle the sustainable development challenges.(iii) Develop partnerships and collaborations between the CBU ACESM, mining and

allied industries, and the private sector to enhance research, entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.

(iv) Upgrade the qualifications and competences of teaching, research and support staff to strengthen institutional capacity in sustainable mining.

(v) Upgrade research and teaching infrastructure and equipment to enhance CBU ACESM capacity to implement sustainable mining initiatives locally and in the region.

1.3 Methodology

The CBU ACESM is designed on the basis of a participatory action-oriented methodology to ensure that the ACESM, together with its partners, tackle the developmental challenge to the fullest extent. It will use a multidisciplinary research approach in conducting demand-driven applied research. Research under the CBU ACESM will seek to engage in viable public- private partnerships (PPPs) with various partners to enhance involvement of industrial partners and other stakeholders in postgraduate training and research. The project will prioritise staff development and improving of staff competences through short-term international trainings, workshops and conferences. This will build both the capacity of staff as well as institutional collaborations. The training of MSc., MPhil. and PhD will build on a trans-disciplinary research approach and involve internships, workshops and conferences. CBU ACESM will establish applied research programmes to enable scientists pursue high-impact projects that will contribute to national,

regional and global understanding and improvement of sustainable mining for enhanced human wellbeing and environmental management.

1.4 Results

The CBU ACESM is expected to achieve numerous results and outcomes reflecting best practices in cooperation among higher education institutions:(i) A vibrant, prestigious and sustainable CBU ACESM for sustainable mining and allied

solutions.(ii) Increased number of researchers and jointly supervised students at MSc., MPhil.,

Doctoral and post-Doctoral levels actively pursuing research on sustainable mining and allied issues.

(iii) There will be 50 PhD students, 300 MSc./MPhil. students and 200 students for short courses over 5 years.

(iv) There will be at least 50 staff and student exchanges over a period of 5 years.(v) Improved investment in infrastructure, equipment and ICTs for the teaching and research

programmes offered and coordinated by the CBU ACESM. (vi) Improved quality and relevance of development-oriented teaching and research

programmes in sustainable development in the region.(vii) Increased representation of female students in MSc., MPhil. and PhD programmes from

33% to 50%. (viii) Improved relevance and application of research and its results to solving key societal

problems associated with mining environments.(ix) Establishment and consolidation of collaborations and linkages between CBU and other

institutions in the Africa region leading to enhanced mobility for staff and students.(x) The number of courses and programmes in CBU and other institutions that are recognized

equivalents needed for transfer of credit and a step towards harmonization of each other’s qualifications.

(xi) There will be at least 25 accredited MSc., MPhil. and PhD programmes over 5 years.(xii) Increased output in multi-disciplinary research including publications, citation indices,

and patents registered. Thus research outputs will increase from 17 publications in year 1 to more than 200 by year 5.

(xiii) Stronger links and partnerships between CBU, partner institutions and communities, and business and industry leading to greater recognition of quality and relevance of research and teaching programmes.

(xiv) More than 11 MoUs will be signed and consolidated over 5 years.

3.0 TIMING OF PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR ENTIRE PROJECT PERIOD

Table 3: Work plan for the project

4.0 IMPLEMENATION ARRANGEMENTS

4.1 Guiding rules and regulations

For the CBU ACESM, equity and respect will play a major role in the governance of the Centre. As such, resources will be equitably distributed among all academic partner and private institutions that will participate in the core business of teaching and research. CBU ACESM, as the focal point, will co-ordinate all teaching and research activities. The Centre will purchase all necessary equipment for enhancement of teaching and research. Based on the budget, the Centre will assign necessary resources to partner sites to ensure smooth running of the programmes and faculty exchanges. Key to the success of the Centre operations will be the implementation of the monitoring and evaluation programmes. The CBU ACESM will recruit ten (10) PhD students per year, with two (2) students from each of the five (5) thematic areas. The five (5) thematic areas under the Centre include: (1) occupational health and vulnerabilities, and risks to communities in mining environments; (2) restoration of mined and derelict environments, and waste management; (3) mining, energy use and process design; (4) livelihoods, entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility, and (5) monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem impacts. The Centre will also be involved in teaching special courses, including the English language for students from non-Anglophone countries. The CBU ACESM, in collaboration with partner institutions, will develop materials and hold forums for educators to learn about current research

ACE TEMPLATE

Implementation Plan

and engage in discussions with scientists and experts in the field. In line with this, the Centre’s commitment to equity and respect, a “zero tolerance” attitude towards sexual harassment will be adhered to by all members of staff at CBU ACESM. The success of the project is dependent on ensuring the participation of females from the region and beyond. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that females (who are more at risk than males of suffering sexual harassment), entering the Centre should be given this security as they study. Male victims of sexual harassment will equally benefit from this approach. Any reported cases will be handled with the seriousness they deserve.

As described under the governance structure below (section 4.2), an External Advisory Board (EAB) will advise the CBU ACESM Centre Leader on all aspects of project management, including assuring an equitable distribution and judicious utilization of resources. The Centre will also leverage existing ties amongst its national and regional University and private partners with advanced research laboratories covering at least one or more of the five (5) thematic areas under CBU ACESM. Further, the Centre is committed to prevent isolated academic ivory-tower centre of excellence and ensure social relevance and enhance as wide a joint scientific constituency as possible. In order to achieve this, CBU ACESM will adhere to its implementation plans. There shall be transparency and clearly defined reporting systems similar to the ones obtaining at the Copperbelt University. Some policies aimed at improving the operation of the Centre shall be formulated. For instance a policy on how the externally generated revenue account shall be managed. This is critical as it addresses the sustainability of the Centre after the expiry of World Bank funding. For project team members, the Centre will offer various incentives for motivation to ensure timely implementation of plans.

4.2 Governance structures

The administrative and technical framework of CBU ACESM, which indicates both clear lines of authority and responsibilities, is presented in Figure 4.1 below. The Centre will be organized in such a way as to maintain stringent control over all the activities required to successfully complete the teaching, training and research components outlined in the project. The Centre Leader will be responsible for the management of the collaboration with partners within and outside the Copperbelt University.

Governance and execution of the Centre’s activities will occur through the Centre Leader’s interactions with various Heads of Departments at the Copperbelt University (of five thematic areas), regional and international collaborators and the External Advisory Board (EAB). The three major strengths of CBU ACESM include: (1) freedom from political or ‘University Management’ influence, (2) access to major Mining Companies’ laboratory and other resources for research and teaching purposes; and (3) central location in the mining hub of Zambia, which makes it easier to attract students from industry and academia within the region. To ensure and assure independence from political or ‘University Management’ influence, the EAB will comprehensively monitor Centre’s activities. The main functions of this board is to: (1) receive progress reports from the Centre Leader on all CBU ACESM activities, (2) receive and review financial reports, (3) review all planned activities and suggest adjustments, as necessary, (4) monitor outputs and outcomes of research and training projects, and (5) advise the Centre Leader on the final evaluation plan. Members of the EAB are drawn from organizations as shown in the organogram below. Other members of the EAB consist of world-renowned scientists and academics in the field of mining and mineral sciences from private organizations. The EAB will

ACE TEMPLATE

Implementation Plan

review baseline research data, research profiles and performance indicators. The EAB will be meeting once a year, but may meet at any time in case of emergency and their costs will always be met by the CBU ACESM.

To ensure the success of the programmes, the Center Leader and Deputy Center Leader will comprehensively monitor partners/collaborators’ activities. They will receive progress reports from the project leaders, from collaborating institutions; review all planned activities and suggest adjustments, as necessary; monitor outputs and outcomes of CBU ACESM research and training projects, and report to the EAB, who in turn will assess the report, advise and make recommendations. Overall, CBU ACESM will be designed to offer an enabling environment for teaching and research. To ensure effectiveness and efficiency, a critical component of the Centre will be its monitoring and evaluation plan. Various methods to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the programme will be used. These may include: process evaluation to assess the implementation of activities in the program, outcome evaluation to determine whether or not the objectives of the programme have been met at the end of each programme component, impact evaluation to assess the Centre’s long-term goals and performance evaluation to assess effectiveness of resource allocation.
