ABOUT US
THE ACCOUNTABLE MINING PROGRAMME
Who We ARE
We’re working to stop corruption in the mining sector, before ground is even broken, to ensure the highest standards of governance in the mining sector.
Since 2016, Transparency International’s Accountable Mining Programme has collaborated across the global network to investigate the impact of corruption on the mining sector.
Using the Mining Awards Corruption Risk Assessment (MACRA) Tool, TI national chapters across 6 continents have identified and assessed corruption risks in mining approvals.
We aim to build a fairer, clearer, and cleaner mining sector by working collaboratively with governments, companies, civil society organisations, and communities.
Meet the team
The Accountable Mining Programme Global Team, based in Melbourne, is a core resource on mining sector accountability. The global team is hosted by Transparency International Australia.
