Other Information - Gender and Disability Inclusion

Australia Awards encourages people of diverse backgrounds to apply for the scholarships.
People with a disability, or people from disability organisations, are encouraged to apply.
As set out in Development for All 2015 2020: Strategy for strengthening disability-inclusive development
, the Australian Government is committed to offering educational opportunities
to eligible people with disabilities. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (2006) that
the Australian Government has ratified, adopts a social model of disability that recognises those who have
long-term physical, mental or sensory impairments which in interactions with various barriers may hinder
their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
Disclosing a disability will not disadvantage you in the application or selection process. Disclosure of
disability enables us to support your participation. Reasonable adjustments will, where required, be made
to ensure equitable participation by all who participate on the award.
For further information on disability inclusion at Australia Awards visit:
http://www.australiaawardsafrica.org/about-australian-awards/information-for-people-with-disability/
Women and those working in gender equity related fields are encouraged to apply.
The Australian Government has an equal access policy for its scholarship opportunities as outlined in
(DFAT 2016). To this end, Australia Awards
Africa is keen to ensure that women participate equally in the program and have equal opportunities to
benefit from the Awards. Women are encouraged to apply and will be supported, as applicable, during
the selection process and once awarded.

Reintegration Action Plan
Please complete your Reintegration Action Plan. This section is compulsory, and we strongly urge you
to discuss it in detail with your employer.
PART 1: Applicant’s General Expectations and Plan
Please list the skills and knowledge you expect to gain from this award. Please be as specific as possible.
Acquire knowledge and skills to assist local communities to take advantage of the resources and strengthen
the development of the communities.
Acquire knowledge and skills to assess the challenges and opportunities of mineral exploration for local
development.
Acquire knowledge and tools to assess the social and economic impacts of mining activities for local
development.
Acquire skills and knowledge to contribute to decent job creation at the local level in partnership with all the
stakeholders from the local level to the national level.
Acquire skills to defend the right of local communities to access natural resources, especially the most
vulnerable in the South and East Region who are youths, women and pygmies.
Get practical tools for supporting the local economy
Acquire knowledge to help build up a strong network for advocacy and reinforce local managerial activities in
mining sector.
Develop complex and critical thinking to solve environmental issues linked to mining sector.
development priorities, including those related to gender equality and social inclusion. Please provide
details, e.g. citing national plans, programmes or policies.
One of our main role as organization is to defend rights of local communities to access natural resources
and benefit from it; as well as the capacities building of youths and women to strengthen local communities.
with my role of program manager at ARPEDEL, I work to educate them on opportunities and benefits that
they can get from extractive industries located in their community. The issue that they are facing is high
unemployment rate (27% jobless and 75.5 underemployed: Ministry of jobs, 2016). One of the main issue
with local population is the lack of modern economic tools management and I will work to reinforce it.
According to the mining code of Cameroon (Dec 2016), communities should benefit from social investment
coming from mining activities and the government through the Growth and Employment Strategic Paper
(GESP) of Cameroon envisages the amelioration of the livelihoods of local communities and I will work with
partners to ensure that it is respected through advocacy.
Please describe how you expect to apply the skills and knowledge gained from this Award to improve
policy or practices at your current or future job.
The government is not aware of some malpractices that are going on at the level of local communities.
They rely on writing semester reports on mining communities based only on production data and local
transformation without assessing the immediate economic/social impact on the localities. this is due to lack
of a strategic development plan for local communities and corruption practices that are going on there,
making the sector dark for external partners. I will work with communities to develop and implement local
development plans, mastering of some keys texts of laws and regulations on their rights and returns from
mining activities, mapping of their natural resources located in mining permits and lastly the identification of
opportunities and challenges of mining for local economy. Simultaneously, I will engage communities and
partners in advocacy at the level of the government and companies to comply with their social
responsibilities toward communities and local economy.
Part 2: Employer’s General Expectations and Plan
Note: This section should be completed by your employer or line manager.
Please explain what skills / knowledge you expect the Applicant to return with, and how your organisation
will use them.
The candidate works directly with local communities located in mining permit to evaluate the socioeconomic
and environmental impact of mining and extractive activities. therefore, he needs skills and tools to build the
capacities of those communities, especially youths and women to take advantage of these activities taking
place in their land. He will use the knowledge acquired to educate communities on how to participate in the
monitoring of mining activities, engaged them in advocacy for the respect of their rights, but also the respect
of the social responsibilities of extractive industries towards them and the environment. To do so, the
candidate needs good advocacy skills, and also good capacity to build network at the local and national level
to make sure that they request are reaching the right table. The candidate needs good negotiation and
reports writing skills to write good reports and help communities to get their share to develop local economy.
