Design a Fair Community Benefit-Sharing Model for Nigerian Mining Communities

Host communities in Nigeria's mining states — Nasarawa, Niger, Zamfara, Plateau — have seen their land degraded, their water contaminated, and their social fabric disrupted by mining operations. The Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007 requires community development agreements, but enforcement is weak, the minimum requirements are low, and communities have no mechanism to negotiate from informed positions. Your challenge is to design a community benefit-sharing framework for Nigerian mining communities that is enforceable under existing law, defines minimum benefit thresholds that go beyond legal minimums, gives communities an independent voice in negotiations, and creates a transparent revenue management structure. The framework must be applicable to both large and artisanal mining operations. Submit a policy and governance design document (max 12 pages) including: the minimum benefit thresholds and their justification, the community negotiation support model, the revenue management structure, how compliance is monitored and enforced, how the framework applies differently to large versus artisanal mining, and a plan to pilot the framework in five mining communities. Judging criteria: 40% quality of benefit framework design and enforceability, 30% community negotiation support model, 20% revenue management design, 10% pilot plan.
