Community Engagement Toolkit for Development Minerals Mining Sites

This toolkit is designed to guide stakeholders in the Development Minerals sector in establishing effective Grievance Handling Mechanisms (GHMs). It acknowledges the inevitability of conflicts in the mining sector and provides a framework for preventing and managing them fairly. The toolkit outlines common conflict types within the sector, details the components of a GHM, and offers step-by-step guidance on how to implement and operate a GHM at the mine site or community level. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding the local context, engaging key actors, and ensuring that the chosen GHM is legitimate, accessible, equitable, and culturally appropriate.
