Brief information of the study:

The main goal of this assessment was to identify the risk of corruption in different decision-making stages throughout the geology and mining sector, and to rate the identified corruption risks. A mitigation action plan was formulated based on the risks of corruption identified in the data collection phase of the assessment. The results of this assessment can be used as a base for corruption risk M&E of the geology and mining sector.

The assessment team aimed to reflect views of the respondents—ministries, agencies, province and district governors, CRK, CSOs, state and private companies, civil society organizations, industry associations and local citizens—equally; and received comments from all key stakeholders.
