Against the backdrop of significant gold mining activity in Mozambique, particularly in Manica Province, the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) report was drawn up. Gold mining has grown to become a major contributor to the extractive industry, with an economic impact on state revenues. This growth has been driven by artisanal mining and the performance of mining companies in the province.
However, gold mining can lead to predatory practices that cause environmental damage, such as habitat destruction and mercury pollution. These practices can also have socio-economic impacts on local communities, including loss of livelihoods and public health issues.
