description The revival of mining activities in western Senegal began with Sabodala mining project. Similarly to its region (Tambacounda), Sabodala is a remote village where traditional activities such as agriculture and gold digging are mainly practised. Poverty is perceived through joblessness among young people, the absence of social and economical infrastructures and the lack of thoroughfare.

However the gap between these demands and the results in the field induces to wonder whether it’s possible to establish a linkage between mining project and development at the local scale.
