Earlier this year, IPIS published a report, \u201cDiamonds in the DRC: A sector struggling to shine again\u201d, which analyzed the current dynamics in the DRC\u2019s diamond mining sector, including production trends, key challenges for both the large-scale (LSM) and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sectors, as well as efforts and opportunities to revive the sector and increase its impact on local development.

At its 2024 plenary meeting in Dubai, the Kimberley Process (KP) decided to lift the 11-year-old embargo on rough diamond exports from the Central African Republic. What were the driving factors behind this decision, and what are its implications?
\nIn this Q&A, IPIS delves into the background of the embargo, its impact and effectiveness, the rationale for its removal, and the potential consequences for the CAR, the KP, and the global diamond trade.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
