Selected projects
Corruption diagnostic study of the mining sector in Guinea
2023 · Client: Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI)
The assignment supported the civil society representatives on Guinea’s EITI (Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) Steering Committee in applying the corruption diagnostic tool developed by NRGI, using an evidence-based, multi-stakeholder approach. It aimed to identify the most pressing forms of corruption in the bauxite sector, diagnose their root causes and design an evidence-based intervention plan to prevent future corrupt practices.
Guidelines on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) in the mining sector
2022 · Client: GIZ GRSE
The assignment aimed to strengthen AML/CFT in Côte d’Ivoire’s mining sector through guidelines and a good-practice guide. It began with a desk review of national legal requirements and international standards, followed by the finalisation of a risk assessment report. A draft guide was then developed as a reference for internal controls, policies, procedures and supervision in line with extractive sector standards, and presented to stakeholders in validation and training workshops. Finally, recommendations were made for the guide’s dissemination and use, supporting better governance and transparency in this key sector.
