Partners

Our Partners

Strong partnerships are key to long-term success. EGPS works with many stakeholders across the mineral value chain and builds on existing partnerships for maximum synergies at the global, regional, and country levels. We also include civil society, the private sector actors, and voices from underrepresented groups—like women, Indigenous peoples, youth, and people with disabilities.
