We are connecting a global network of local corruption-fighting partners in some of the world’s most resource-rich countries to strengthen the integrity of the mining sector.

Transparency International’s Accountable Mining Programme is focusing on the very start of the mining value chain: the process of awarding mining rights.

By clarifying who gets the right to mine, under what conditions, and why, we help local communities, national governments, and mining companies identify the risks of corruption in the mining approvals process and work together to strengthen their systems to prevent and tackle corruption.

By building a better system and a fairer process from the start we can prevent corruption before ground is even broken.
