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 working to stop corruption in the mining sector.

By strengthening mining sector governance, we help communities, national governments, and mining companies identify the risks of corruption in the mining sector and work together to strengthen their systems to prevent and tackle corruption.

By ensuring stronger mining governance systems and fairer processes, we can prevent corruption across the mining sector.

The importance of tackling corruption

Corruption in the mining sector steals the nation’s wealth and robs people of their land, water, air, and soil, sometimes leading to fatal accidents and conflicts.

A strong, transparent and accountable mining sector means people are more likely to benefit from their nation’s resource wealth, communities are more likely to benefit from the mining project, and the environment is more likely to be cared for. Stronger mining governance is crucial for a transparent, accountable and corruption-free mining sector.
