A lack of transparency and accountability in the awarding of mining sector licences, permits and contracts – the first stage in the mining value chain – is a root cause of corruption in the mining sector. Yet other initiatives to improve governance and prevent corruption in extractive industries (oil, gas and mining) do not focus fully or exclusively either on the mining sector or this stage of the value chain.
This tool fills this gap by helping users to identify and assess the underlying causes of corruption in mining sector awards – the corruption risks that create opportunities for corruption and thereby undermine the lawful, compliant and ethical awarding of mining sector licences, permits and contracts.
