This note provides guidance to policy makers, the World Bank task managers and mining, environmental, and social specialists for undertaking strategic environmental and social assessment (SESA) to support mining sector reform. If well-implemented, SESA can be the catalyst of the following outcomes: 1) increased attention to environmental and social priorities associated with mining development; 2) strengthened environmental constituencies; 3) improved social accountability by making the mining policy process more transparent; and 4) enhanced sector capacity for managing environmental and sociopolitical risks associated with mining sector development. Ultimately, these outcomes will lead to a more sustainable development process driven by mining sector growth. SESA is thus a process of sector institutional and governance strengthening that materializes along with the implementation of mining reform.
