Increase the knowledge and understanding of women, men, youth, indigenous people, communities and CSOs of the importance of, risks to, and solutions for transparency and good governance in the extractive, infrastructure and energy transition sectors.

%full-width Gender in the MACRA tool Transparency International’s Accountable Mining programme developed the Mining Awards Corruption Risk Assessment Tool (MACRA Tool) to identify and assess the underlying causes of corruption in the process of awarding mining rights. The latest edition mainstreams gender throughout, helping users of the tool analyse the corruption risks from a gendered perspective. The tool guides users to collect information that will help identify, understand and address the barriers to women’s participation caused by gender inequality, and identify and mitigate the specific gendered impacts of corruption on women.

Key resource

Our briefing paper explores the link between gender and corruption in mining sector licensing.

Looking at community consultation processes, the experience of female artisanal miners, whistleblowers, and community members, it discusses the gendered impacts of corruption and highlights the need to tackle gender inequality and support women’s voice and participation.

The paper provides recommendations for governments, mining companies and civil society to support them to design and implement measures to reduce gender inequality and corruption within the mining sector and minimise the gendered impacts of corruption.
