Project Description
IFC will provide advisory services to assist Sierra Rutile in delivering inclusive development opportunities for local businesses and communities.
IFC will provide advisory in the following areas: 1) Recommendations on policies, procedures, and strategies that guide Sierra Rutile's decision making in areas related to community investment, stakeholder engagement, local procurement; and 2) Implementation of community development programs with focus on supply chain linkages, agricultural development, improving local understanding of the mining industry and mining-generated revenue flows into communities, and inclusion of women and youth.
Working with Sierra Rutile, as the country's leading mining company and largest private sector employer, offers the opportunity to influence the development of Sierra Leone's mining sector by demonstrating how responsible mining can bring tangible positive benefits to host communities.
