Additional Notes

The Extractive Sector plays an important role in the global economic landscape, by contributing significantly to the GDP if their host countries. Thus Extractive Industries can indeed contribute to the sustainable development of a community and to the wider economy when interventions are implemented that considers the rights of the people most affected.

 

It is in this context that the TEDU is hosting a conference entitled “Achieving sustainability in regions with Extractive Industries” and as part of the community outreach it will also be hosting a secondary school’s 3-D poster competition. This competition seeks to highlight and encourage sustainable development in communities that house extractive industries.
