Since this was a new exercise for most of the committee members, a familiarization workshop on the Planning Processes and Procedures was conducted for the committee members so that they were familiar with the planning process. Prior to and after the site visits to the women in and around the mine sites, there were constant consultations and networking between the committee members and the women representatives at the mine sites. On most occassions, women working for the Community Affairs Department of the various mining companies were the focal points for the women in the rural villages affected by the mining activities.

Revise Objectives & Strategies Women affected by the mining activities have been consulted widely for their views and contributions towards this Plan. Due to the high level of illiteracy among the women, planning terminologies were translated into Pidgin-a language that is commonly spoken and understood by the women. On some occassions, a translator brought in by the women themselves had to translate for them during the workshop sessions. The women’s concerns and contributions were inputted during the sessions in English, while at the same time emphasizing to the women that what was inputted was what they actually said. Hence, what is contained in this Plan reflects the desires and aspirations of these women. While documenting the information, the committee ensured there was consistency with existing policies, plans and programmes. These includes the overarching policy objectives of the government as contained in the MTDS, the MDGs, the sector plans like the National Education and Health Plans, and the Memorandum of Agreements signed between the government, mining companies and the Landowners. 3.3 Plan design strategy to address issues A low level of living as reflected by having low cash incomes reduces the quality of life because it means that the resources available to families and individuals to improve their conditions is non existent and results in poor health and welfare is 10 9.
