Key insights include: - Enhanced protection of the rights of workers. - Enhanced community and stakeholder Engagements. - Increased transparency and accountability for Multi-National Companies (MNC's) with business operations and supply chains in the global south. - Improved risk, mitigation as the Directive helps in identifying and managing environmental, social, and governance risks associated with corporate activities in Africa - Increased access to remedy and compensation as the Directive provides for civil liability and compensation in cases of corporates abuses.

The Ministry of Mines and Mining Development has started consultations on mining policies, namely the Minerals Development Policy, Value Addition & Beneficiation Strategy and the Artisanal and Small Scale Gold Mining Strategy. @ZELA_Infor is participating in the ongoing stakeholder consultations and attended sessions held in Bulawayo and Gwanda this week. As per our model Minerals Development policy zela.org/download/analy… and the mining policy guidance from the Inter Government Forum @IGFMining, below are some of the key areas that we expect the Government to show policy commitments on, in the national minerals development policy: · Developing a computerised mining cadastre system; · Requiring mining entities to act in accordance with national and international laws and standards to implement responsible business conduct or sourcing standards; · Designing a fiscal regime that is based on law and quantitative and qualitative analysis, that optimizes government revenues across mining projects, and that is subject to the country’s economic and social policy; · Ensuring the fiscal regime is clear and simple for both investors and the government administration. · Limiting opportunities for investors to engage in tax avoidance such as adopting measures against base erosion and profit shifting in the domestic law and international legal instruments. · Ensuring coordination between government agencies responsible for implementing the fiscal regime; · Ensuring fiscal transparency through ensuring a comprehensive public disclosure of all fiscal charges paid by mining entities and received by the government and the rules on the distribution of mining revenues at subnational transfers; · Adopting legal and regulatory frameworks and guidance documents for closure. #ResponsibleMining @tafara_chiremba @ShamisoMtisi @fadzyMislee @nmutonhori @BMutasa @USEmbZim @amdc_amv @AfricanAmdc @PWYPtweets @KPCivilSociety1 @IRMA_mining

#WomensMonth Feature ''Climate change exacerbates already existing inequalities in the community. When we look at our patriarchal system women do not have access to land, yet at the same time women rely on land and the resources that are on land for livelihood'' - @nmutonhori

ZELA News/Zvirimunhau/Okusendabeni - mailchi.mp/f34dd5d6a0c3/z…

As we celebrate women’s achievements on #IWD2024, we also acknowledge that despite the progress made towards gender inclusion and equality, a lot still needs to be done to ensure the rights of women, especially in natural resources management and governance. Read our statement on #InternationalWomensDay2024 for more information on the strategies we use to promote women inclusion and recommendations to #InspireInclusion by reducing hurdles and challenges to the inclusion of women in natural resource management and governance.

Exploring the Human Rights Implications of emerging Critical Minerals Value Chains, ongoing research by @ZELA_Infor and @AIEL_Infor, notes that the global energy transition and net-zero goals present both immense risks and enormous opportunities for Africa. This was revealed during a session to validate case studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe on the sidelines of the 15th edition of the Alternative Mining Indaba (AMI) 2024, convened under the theme ‘Energy Transition Minerals: Putting Communities First for an Inclusive Feminist Future.’ Giving the Keynote address, Gabriela Factor (Chief Adviser Business & Human Rights - Danish Institute for Human Rights stressed that the energy sector is crucial for realising human rights, and economic development. However, the mining of transition minerals and renewable energy projects is linked to the depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation, land rights issues, labour rights abuses, gender discrimination, conflict and security concerns. Read this post @AltMiningInd blog by @Obertbore for more information on the implications of the extraction of critical minerals in the Southern Africa including recommendations to improve responsible mining practices in the #CriticalMinerals value chain in the region. 👉👉zela.org/human-rights-i…
