Logic model analysis of the minerals sector in Bangladesh

	Bangladesh
Key factor	Input	Activities	Outputs	Outcomes	Impact
Minerals	Human resources: Geologists, mining engineers, environmental scientists and local communities Financial resources: Government funding, private sector investments and international grants Information resources: Geological surveys, mineral exploration data and international best practices Technological resources: Advanced extraction and processing technologies and research and development tools	Investigation of massive sulphide deposits, cobalt crusts and polymetallic nodules in Bangladesh's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). participation in international programs overseen by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) for seabed mining (UNB, 2023). Gazi et al. (2019) investigated and found heavy mineral sands along the coastal belt from Patenga to Teknaf. commercialization of minerals extracted for use in a variety of industries (e.g. paper, glass, ceramics, chemicals and welding electrodes)	The quantity of exploration missions, geological surveys, and licenses granted for seabed mining operations. Amount of minerals processed and sold, as well as the volume of heavy mineral sands extracted	Increased ability to extract minerals from the deep sea. Adherence to international laws governing seabed mining. Employment creation in the mining and processing sectors	Significant contribution of marine mineral resources to the GDP of the country. Increased living standards and the creation of jobs for the nearby communities affected by mining operations. Ecological extraction techniques guaranteeing negligible harm to the environment
