The Diamond Development Initiative (DDI), an American charity aimed at improving the living conditions of small individual diamond miners in Africa, announced that it has once again received financial support from Rubel & Ménasché. This Parisian company, which has been supporting DDI since 2012, is a member of the Responsible Jewelery Council and specializes in the wholesale supply of high-quality diamonds.
The contribution of Rubel & Ménasché will provide DDI with support for several projects, including a major initiative in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that will enable the integration of more than 50,000 prospectors into the diamond mining industry.
In Sierra Leone, DDI works with local leaders and civil society to identify areas where diamonds can be extracted in an environmentally sound manner and where prospectors will get a fair price for them, working in a safe environment. The diamonds they harvest will be tracked at the stages of sale, polishing and delivery to retailers, so that end-users receive precious stones that meet the standards of industry ethics and fair trade.
If successful, these projects will revolutionize the future for prospectors and their communities, which are estimated to account for 16% of global diamond production.

The authorities of Zimbabwe intend to collect their share of the proceeds from diamond sales immediately after the sale of the goods, without waiting for annual dividends from partners working at the diamond fields in Marange.
As the newspaper The Herald writes, there is a fear that the treasury lost millions of dollars in revenue from previous sales.
The state-owned mining company Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC) owns a 50 percent stake in Marange diamond mining companies, including Mbada Diamonds, Anjin Investments, Diamond Mining Company, Jinan and Kusena.
Minister of the mining industry Walter Chidhakwa said at a meeting of the parliamentary commission that he agreed with the Ministry of Finance that the payment of royalties and fees for the extraction of resources, as well as the share of profits from diamond sales, should be made immediately after sales.
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) collects 15% of sales from companies, while a 2% charge for depletion of reserves is payable in favor of ZMDC.
"We have developed a scheme that allows us not to expect payment of dividends at the end of the year," Chidakva said. "The revenue section will be made immediately: one share will be transferred to the government account, and the other will be transferred to the partner's account."
