Public finance institutions are becoming anchor investors in critical mineral mining. But their safeguards, transparency rules and grievance mechanisms often remain poorly adapted to the specific risks of mining: irreversible impacts on land, water, territories and Indigenous rights.
This Alirpaq guide translates the PowerShift e.V. report “Public Money for Mining: Closing the Gaps in Standards, Transparency and Accountability” into a practical navigator for communities, CSOs, researchers and advocates.
It includes:
- a map of public finance institutions active in mining finance;
- a scorecard across internal standards, transparency and grievance mechanisms;
- examples of how complaint mechanisms have worked in practice;
- a navigator showing where to file a complaint;
- a checklist before filing.
