At the Ministry of Mines and Geology of Senegal, the Directorate of Control and Surveillance of Mining Operations (DCSOM) is responsible for control and environmental and social monitoring of mining projects. It aims to develop a strategy to this end. It also implements a project to rehabilitate abandoned quarries.
