11 Recommendations to the Ministry of Minerals

Following all discussions, debates, and reflections, the forum culminated in the development of 11 key recommendations. These aim to transform Tanzania's extractive sector through four core pillars:

🔍
Transparency & Accountability

Strengthen public disclosure of mining revenues, contracts, and environmental impact assessments.

🏘️
Community Rights Protection

Ensure free, prior, and informed consent for communities affected by extractive operations.

♻️
Sustainable Mining Practices

Promote environmentally responsible extraction methods and robust land reclamation obligations.

Just Energy Transition

Accelerate a fair transition to clean energy that leaves no community or worker behind.

The 11 Recommendations
01

Strengthen transparency in extractive revenue collection and public financial management.

02

Mandate community benefit-sharing agreements for all large-scale mining operations.

03

Enforce free, prior, and informed consent for communities before mining licenses are issued.

04

Establish independent monitoring mechanisms for environmental compliance at mine sites.

05

Invest in local content and skills development to maximize in-country value from extractive industries.

06

Develop a national roadmap for accelerating the just energy transition, with timelines and milestones.

07

Protect artisanal and small-scale miners through regularization, training, and access to finance.

08

Strengthen the role of women in the extractive sector through targeted policies and programs.

09

Improve access to legal aid and grievance mechanisms for communities affected by mining operations.

10

Promote inter-ministerial coordination on land, environment, and mining governance for coherent policy.

11

Establish a permanent multi-stakeholder platform to monitor implementation of all forum resolutions.

Responsible mining is not a technical aspiration — it is a social contract between the state, companies, and the communities whose land and lives are at stake.
