Guinea: How multi-lateral partnerships maximise the effectiveness of local development funds

Mining companies make significant contributions to local development funds which are in turn used to improve living conditions and to mobilize resources for economic and social development. With support from development partners, the Guinean Ministry of Mines and Geology and mining companies aim to improve transparency of mining revenue flows for community development, using innovative online tools and infomediary engagement. The panel shares how increased transparency unlocks African investment and increases the stability and security of all-important social licenses.
