SADC Extractive Industry Quarterly Monitor

This publication monitors and tracks issues of human rights, accountability, transparency, environment, conflict, corporate social responsibility, investment and corruption that affect growth of the extractive industry in Southern Africa. It encourages meaningful debates and conversations. This inaugural monitor analyses key issues ranging from power shortages in Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa that have resulted in major losses to mining companies and economies; the role played by resources in elections in Botswana and Mozambique; the new rush for gold in Zambia and Malawi; the emergence of Russia as a key player in the extractive sector in SADC, especially in Zimbabwe, Angola and Mozambique; to artisanal mining in the DRC and Zimbabwe.
