International Workshop: The Resources Sector: Securing Sustainable Livelihoods for Communities
The interaction between communities and the resources sector in developing countries often results in security issues for both actors. For the community, security concerns arise from the lack of or unequal access to livelihoods, basic services, education, and health facilities; whilst for the resources sector concerns frequently relate to reputational risk, physical security, damage to property, personnel and profitability. This workshop aims to focus on cutting-edge methods and tools of engagement to enable the resources sector to meet national and international obligations and in the process secure communities and their business operations. The workshop will take place on the 1st February 2008 in Brisbane, Australia.
