International Org/Dev/Coop
English term or phrase: Extractives
Comment traduiriez-vous ce mot ici ? Je suppose que l'ONG parle des entreprises qui font de l'extraction de minerai ????


Extractives - Areas with natural resources stage power struggles between multinationals and governments. The local population is often left both powerless and poor. XXX helps them to engage in an open dialogue between companies, governments and the public
