EITI Compliant

NACE, the National Advocacy Coalition on Extractive Industries, was launched in 2001 and later joined as an affiliate PWYP coalition. It continues to play an important role in the effective implementation of the EITI in Sierra Leone and now focuses on transposing the initiative into law. NACE is also aims at making mining and oil contracts accessible to the public.

In continuation of its work in previous years, NACE has been working with mining communities to enhance their participation in community development plans and to reduce the negative impact of mining on their lives.
