| Name | Artisanal Cassiterite / Tin Mining / Trade in North Kivu: Implications for Poverty / Security |
| Description | Nicholas Garrett has written this report commissioned by the multi-donor Communities and Small-scale Mining Secretariat based at the World Bank. The report details the production and trade in cassiterite (tin ore) in conflict torn Eastern Democratic Republic ofthe Congo and their implications for poverty reduction and security in the region. The study finds that armed groups continue to be directly involved in tin mining in North Kivu, but warns that the emphasis on the military dimension of the mining sector diverts attention away from the other underlying opportunities and pathologies in the regional minerals sector, which have to be addressed for buoyant tin prices to help lift the population of North Kivu out of poverty, and for the tin trade to become a driver of peace. |
