The PWYP coalition in Guinea was launched in July 2006. Its main areas of activity have been implementing the EITI (the coalition has also been very active in disseminating EITI reports aimed at a wider population), advocating transparency in mining contracts and lobbying to change national legislation. The coalition was very active in the process that led to the adoption of a new mining code in Guinea, and to its implementing legislation.
PWYP-Guinea is currently involved in monitoring companies’ legal obligations, the issue of allocating revenues back to communities that live alongside mining sites and the environmental impact of mining activities.
