Please accept our best wishes for the new year and our thanks to all those who have contributed to the IGF’s success in 2016. It is a busy period for the IGF Secretariat as the IISD team expands to fulfill the ambitious agenda of IGF members and its primary funder, the Government of Canada.
MInGov is a newly-developed tool that comprehensively analyzes a country’s mining sector and its context, and identifies sector governance strengths and weaknesses. It pinpoints in detail where the sector is not functioning as it should.
We are heading into an exciting period for IGF.
The Canadian government has infused the organization with the funds necessary to expand our impact and reach and has transferred Secretariat functions to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD.) We are grateful for this support which will allow the Secretariat to better serve its members.
IGF has grown into an institution that plays a key role on the world stage.
