PROGRAMS | The Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS)

RISE

Resilient and Inclusive Supply Chain Enhancement Partnership (RISE) helps low- and middle-income countries shift from merely exporting raw minerals to developing responsible mining practices (extraction) and improving their processing and manufacturing capabilities. This helps countries derive greater value from their minerals to produce clean energy products such as solar panels and EV batteries. RISE also works to attract more private investors, helping countries become active players in global supply chains.

CSM

Climate-Smart Mining (CSM) helps resource-rich developing countries reduce pollution and waste in mining while leveraging the growing demand for critical minerals to foster resilient, inclusive, and long-term development. The initiative has two main areas of focus: The first, Decarbonization, Climate Resilience, and Circular Economy (DECRECE), aims to reduce mining’s carbon footprint, strengthen community and ecosystem resilience, and embed circular economy practices across the mining lifecycle. The second, Critical Mineral Supply (CMS), supports resource-rich developing countries in building responsible production capacity for critical minerals.

ASM

EGPS advances artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) by promoting its legitimacy and professionalization. This means creating the legal and policy frameworks that allow miners to operate safely and responsibly, while also strengthening the skills and capacities of miners, governments, and communities to improve practices across the sector.

Transparency in Extractive Industries

The Transparency in Extractive Industries framework underpins our work for a well-governed extractives sector. It enables citizens and civil society to hold governments and industries accountable, foster transparency and dialogue, and improve governance models.
