CNRG Exists To Ensure Natural Resources Are A Blessing And Not A Curse To The Host Communities. The Extractive Sector, Whilst Viewed As A Boom By Government And Corporations, Is In Reality Doom To Most Communities Who Have Fallen Victim To The Paradox Of Plenty. Mining Has Led To Somatic Violence, Deleterious Psychosocial And Health Impacts On Communities, Especially Women And Children. It Is Harmful To The Environment Especially Where There Are No Tight Regulations To Reduce Environmental Impacts Of Extractive Industries. The Government Of Zimbabwe Acknowledges That The Extractive Sector Is The Chief Architect Of Illicit Financial Flows From The Country.

Advocacy

CNRG advocates for the formalization of the artisanal mining sector as part of implementing the indigenization law.

Livelihood

It is imperative to suggest ways to strengthen and broaden the livelihood options of the affected families

Artisanal Mining

Assisting informal miners by entitling them with licences in order to formally register their work.

Tax Justice

Government should accrue revenues from its mineral resources primarily through the taxes that mining companies pay to the state, according to project-specific “mining agreements” which discipline the fiscal term of the contract between the stakeholders.

Conservation

Assisting informal miners by entitling them with licences in order to formally register their work.

Our Allies

CNRG works closely with both local and international human rights organisations and networks.

Donate

CNRG relies on the support it gets from foundations and individuals who believe in economic justice. Our hard working team travels throughout the country in the most difficult and challenging circumstances to strengthen the capacities of communities to resist destructive mining. Working in such a problematic environment, with scarce, inefficient infrastructures and a tense political climate makes CNRG work ardours and difficult to perform. For this reason CNRG needs your help! You may never step your foot in these communities but your financial contributions will enable CNRG to reach out to help the poor and vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe and support their struggle!
