- The exploitation of natural resources in general, and mining resources such as diamonds in particular, remain one of the most important issues for peace, security and development in many African countries.
- If these resources are to serve the sustainable well-being of the people, it is vital that the governance of African states is equal to the challenges, both internal and external, old and new.
- With a view to contributing to these changes in governance, STRATEGIES! has been supporting and advising players in the governance of natural resources in Africa for several years.
