- W235054436 abstract "Zimbabwe`s mining sector continues to be touted as the anchor and backbone to country’s economic growth and poverty reduction initiatives. This fact is acknowledged in the Government of Zimbabwe’s five year development plan where mining and mineral beneficiation have been identified as an important development cluster. Mining is outlined as the lead sector based on its contribution to both the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and export earning having contributed nearly 20% and 60% respectively in 2013. However given the prominence mining has in the economic and fiscal realm of the country in Zimbabwe there is limited participation by communities in natural resources governance. Platforms for communities to dialogue with government and mining companies on the impacts of mining on the life in general and livelihoods in particular are very few. Despite the potential of the mining sector to contribute to economic development, the sector is presently causing untold suffering to the local communities living adjacent to mining operations. Some of the problems affecting mining communities include issues of forced evictions and relocations of communities from their traditional lands without free and prior informed consent and lack of fair and adequate compensation in order to pave way for mining activities. These irregular relocations and resettlements have been done and continue to be done without government and the mining companies recognising local communities as an important stakeholder in the mining sector. This situation is leaving a lot of poor men, women and children suffering from loss of agricultural and grazing lands, thereby, threatening their food security and livelihoods. The situation is even worse for rural women as they are heavily dependent on subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods. Furthermore, mining activities continue to cause environmental degradation, siltation of rivers, water and air pollution that affect their lives related to extractives.The above scenario sets a clear justification for convening Alternative Mining Indabas as open platforms for mining affected communities to discuss the impacts of mining on their livelihoods, rights and environment with the government and the mining companies. The fundamental concept behind the initiative being to enable communities to deliberate on these issues and provide a platform within which they develop advocacy strategies that would ensure the protection, promotion and realization of their rights in the mining sector by government and mining companies. Alternative mining Indabas have evolved to become the biggest public interest gatherings on mining and mining impacts in Zimbabwe. This paper thus serves as an expose of the major outcomes from all alternative mining Indabas held in Zimbabwe in 2014." @default.
