Promoting Responsive and Accountable Extractive Industries Governance

The Promoting Responsive and Accountable Extractive Industries Governance Project is a 1 year project being implemented in Malingunde T.A Masumbankhunda where sovereign Metals is proposing the development of an open graphite mining project. The project is funded by Tilitonse Foundation from the European Union Aid.

The project is designed to promote an inclusive and transparent governance of the Malawian extractive industries sector. This goal is being achieved by enhancing access to information on mining development processes; increasing engagement of communities in all stages of the mining life cycle; and enabling the mining regulatory framework to be operationalised.

Through the project, Malingunde communities are being empowered to understand Environmental and Social Impact Assessment processes, Land Acquisition and compensation rights and Mining laws which will enable them to hold duty bearers and decision makers accountable on mining development processes.
