EITI engagement
Day 1
- Country, company and community perspectives on distribution of benefits and harms across the continent and within nations and communities
- The role of international involvement (and interference) in elevating certain countries over others (e.g. exploration, trade and investment privileging)
- What does a just transition offer for delivering energy security to Africa?
Day 2
- What are the cultural taboos and organisational silos that discourage open discussion about corruption?
- Does the fear of reputational damage and legal consequences prevent companies from engaging in these conversations?
- Examine the complexity of navigating different regulatory environments across countries and regions.
- Does mining have an institutional culture problem?
- What does it mean to lead with moral courage?
- How do you make decisions that are not just about the law and shareholders, but for the greater good?
- What are the fundamentals of building trust?
Day 3
- Why now? How will a new standard benefit mining in Africa? What does the new standard mean for downstream stakeholders?
- Feedback and reception so far: Following the first public consultation, what has been the public response?
- What’s next: How will the initiative move forward and what are the key milestones and measure of success?
At this event session, participants will engage in dynamic discussions on the benefits mineral partnership deals bring to African countries, the suitability of resource-backed loans, pre-payments and infrastructure deals in the African context, and how transparency in structured finance can help both governments and financiers safeguard their investments.
