Introduction
The Alternative Mining Indaba (AMI) is an international platform that was formed in 2010 by civil society in their efforts to provide an alternative voice emanating from the investing in Africa Mining Indaba that has been hosted for over 20 years. The platform goes beyond profits, mergers and acquisitions with a focus on community development strategies, calling for good governance of revenues and in particular seeks to define and find ways to implement ethical policies in the extractive sector value-chain, thus creating conditions for a positive economic and social outcome, while avoiding any negative environmental and social effects.
Over the years the AMI has grown from being a platform for communities to tell their stories and expose the atrocities being committed by mining companies to an advocacy and lobbying space where by all mining stakeholders meet to strengthen advocacy work and develop strategic tools to address challenges faced by the sector.
