“As the green energy transition drives demand for mining in unstable regions, managing potential conflict between artisanal and industrial miners will be critical for advancing economic development and minimizing conflict.” @tghani in @Just_Security: https://t.co/m9B8imtDPe

In today’s #MustRead, @tghani, @Juan_Lozano__, @anoukrigterink, and Jacob Shapiro examine the narrative of ‘conflict minerals’ and suggest that efforts to further integrate small-scale miners can reduce conflict and advance economic development.

@carsonamelia7 @laurenyoung231 @ElayneStecher @nancylindborg @PackardFdn @FEWSNET @tedmiguel @solhsiang @MarshallBBurke @ClaireAdida Many governments do a poor job at identifying employees & paying salaries. In Afghanistan, such basic foundations of state capacity aren't trivial: 48% of teachers are absent & 55% of teachers experience payment delays, shares @tghani at #E2A2022
