** towards sustainable management of natural resources: the new budgetary paradigm of the Republic **
At the heart of global economic debates, the management of natural resources remains a major challenge, especially for developing countries strongly dependent on mining and oil revenues. The recent Council of Ministers, where the Minister of State, Aimé Boji Sangare, presented a strategic roadmap to better supervise the exploitation of these resources, offers new light on this crucial problem. This initiative is not only a response to local issues, but is part of a global dynamic of sustainability and transparency.
### A reflection on the exhaustion of resources
The gradual exhaustion of natural resources is not a simple local phenomenon. According to the latest analyzes of the United Nations, nearly 80 % of global fishery resources are exploited in a sustainable way at levels close to their maximum capacity. The similarity between the challenges faced by the Republic and other countries rich in resources is striking. Excessive dependence on these resources exposes economies to uncontrollable fluctuations, as evidenced by economic crises in South America during oil price fluctuations in the 1990s.
The roadmap presented by Boji Sangare aims to create a transparent operational framework which is not only reactive, but proactive in the face of these global challenges. It recognizes that the management of natural resources must evolve towards a system which prioritizes not only exploitation but also preservation, thus guaranteeing the sustainability of resources for future generations.
### From vulnerability to resilience: a paradigm shift
The heart of this new approach is based on two determining axes: a strategic reform program and the establishment of a robust budgetary policy, independent of the fluctuations in natural resources. This transition from vulnerability to economic resilience requires a strong commitment from the government, supported by reliable mechanisms and participatory governance.
Historically, many countries have failed in their management of natural resources due to a lack of contingency plans in the face of external economic shocks. Ecuador, for example, suffered from a severe economic crisis following a brutal contraction in oil markets. On the other hand, countries like Norway, thanks to their sovereign fund, have managed to stabilize their economy using hydrocarbon income to support other vital sectors.
The approach adopted by the Republic, drawing inspiration from these examples, could promote proactive tax management which is not only based on the cyclicals of raw material prices, but which anticipates economic cycles.
### A social and inclusive dimension
By integrating sustainable development and inclusive growth at the heart of its strategy, the roadmap is distinguished by its ambition to redefine the profits from the exploitation of resources for the entire population. Minister Boji expressed a clear will: transforming economic gains into sustainable improvements in living conditions.
To achieve this objective, the government will have to set up a participatory framework encompassing all the strata of the company. New technologies, including digital transparency and citizen participation, could play a crucial role. Innovative platforms, allowing citizens to follow in real time the management of revenues from the extractive sector, could modify the dynamic of citizen responsibility.
### Conclusion: a roadmap for the future
In conclusion, the presentation of this roadmap by the Minister Aimé Boji Sangare not only signs a new era for the management of natural resources in the Republic, but is also part of a global movement towards more responsible governance and oriented towards sustainable development. The steps that will follow, from the development of reforms to their effective implementation, will be decisive to observe whether this ambition will turn into tangible success for the national economy.
The path is strewn with pitfalls, but taking note of the lessons of the past and based on new paradigms, the Republic could become a model of excellence in terms of natural resources management-not only for itself, but also for other nations confronted with the same challenges. The call to a collective contribution and a long -term vision thus resonates as an imperative necessity, essential to the construction of a prosperous and lasting future for all.
