GLOCON's new Country Report looks at the impact of industrial mining in Burkina Faso on the local rural population and presents the view of residents close to six industrial mines. Surveys in the affected villages show that – in contrast to the promises of mining companies and the government – the opening of the mines has not improved the living conditions. On the contrary, respondents report the loss of their livelihoods and damage to their health, as well as experienced disrespect by the mine operators. Those affected protest in various ways and demand compensation payments, the creation of jobs and income generating opportunities, as well as investment in local infrastructure. This report is available in English and French.Der neue Count...
