About

The Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (PPA) is a multi-sector initiative between leaders in civil society, industry, and government that supports projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the surrounding Great Lakes Region of Central Africa (GLR) that improve the due diligence and governance systems needed for ethical supply chains. Funded projects bring in-region benefits and complement government initiatives, with a focus on developing tools and building civil society capacity to support responsible minerals sourcing and trading. We convene and facilitate timely dialogue among key regional and international actors.

The PPA panel included examples of evolving public-private models to support responsible minerals supply chains, including mining community projects, followed by an interactive discussion among participants about opportunities and recommendations on the types of investment and evolution of public-private partnership to enhance benefits in upstream supply chains and mining communities.
