A <strong>top-down approach risks to be unaligned<\/strong> with existing regulations and state structures in producing countries. The involvement of producing countries from the start will ensure a buy-in which is indispensable in the implementation of regulatory measures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another relevant lesson learned from the 3T experience is that <strong>responsible sourcing initiatives are only sustainable when ASM miners benefit<\/strong> from it. Buy-in of the ASM sector should be encouraged by ensuring that formal trade benefits miners while also keeping the mineral price competitive on the global market.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the <strong>effectiveness of both regulatory measures and responsible sourcing programs hugely depends on the capacity of the people implementing it<\/strong> on the ground. In the past, initiatives have been too focused on improving the transparency of the mineral value chain, rather than on the governance of the mineral sector as a whole which would potentially have a larger positive effect on the mining communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-cbcdc57d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Comparative-Analysis-between-cobalt-and-3T-sourcing-from-the-DRC.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#fa784a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the full report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Comparative-Analysis-between-cobalt-and-3T-sourcing-from-the-DRC.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CACT.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22978\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report compares\u00a0the supply chains and traceability of 3T and cobalt ores in order to identify similarities, differences, and lessons learned from the decade of 3T experience in responsible sourcing, for the emerging cobalt initiatives.\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0experience of\u00a0regulating responsible sourcing\u00a0in the 3T sector has taught us the importance of engaging producing countries from the start of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":22922,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"research-program":[6],"publication-category":[],"country":[42],"publication-author":[2794,7338,21],"partner":[43],"publication-researcher":[],"publication-gis":[],"maps-data":[],"publication-editor":[],"data-analysis":[],"surveyor":[],"field-research-coordinator":[],"narrative":[],"class_list":["post-22911","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","research-program-business-human-rights","country-democratic-republic-of-the-congo","publication-author-guillaume-de-brier","publication-author-hadassah-arian","publication-author-lotte-hoex","partner-eurac"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
