The study, Feasibility Study of Direct Marketing of Artisanal Diamonds, examined the feasibility of direct supply chains of diamonds from Liberia and the Central African Republic (CAR) to US buyers. The event was designed to catalyze the formation of a type of public-private partnership dedicated to developing and growing direct marketing opportunities that would (a) materially increase the benefits to the diamond mining sector in Liberia and/or CAR and (b) materially advance the commercial interests of the diamond industry.
The event and study are part of the Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development (PRADD), a joint USAID and State Department project, that works with mining communities and the governments of Liberia and CAR to increase the amount of alluvial diamonds entering the formal chain of custody while improving the benefits accruing to mining communities.
