Drawing on diverse research experiences on occupations linked to the exploitation of mineral resources since 2014, this paper offers a critical reflection on the existence of the CDLM as an instrument of mining governance and its relation to economic, social, environmental, and ethical development in the Agbaou Mine area. The analysis reveals that, despite institutional measures aimed at integrating local populations through mechanisms of sound mining governance, the living and working conditions of the host communities remain ambivalent. Based on a qualitative analysis of a corpus of data derived from both fundamental and applied research, this contribution highlights three major findings: (i) the composition, mode of designation, and organisational arrangements within the mining sector do not evolve within a genuinely participatory framework; (ii) the functioning of the CDLM stands in stark contrast to that of village institutions; and (iii) after more than a decade of activity at the Agbaou Mine, the overall assessment of the host communities’ quality of life remains mixed.
