Presentation

The wealth generated by natural resources, while promising for economic development, is often accompanied by high risks of corruption. Illicit practices can undermine the potential benefits of these resources, thereby exacerbating social inequalities and hindering progress towards effective governance. The seminar on the risks of corruption in the extractive sector will be an opportunity to analyze the different dimensions of this complex phenomenon.
