In November and December 2024, the DPA Executive Director received an invitation to attend an inter-ministerial meeting at the Ministry of Environment (MoE) to review and provide inputs on three EIA reports. To ensure the specific needs of the affected community members were addressed, the DPA-SABRE team actively gathered detailed inputs from both directly and indirectly affected communities, as well as local authorities in the areas surrounding the company operations. These inputs focused on public participation and highlighted the social and environmental concerns raised by the communities and local authorities. As a result, the inputs were agreed upon and accepted by the mining company owners and supported by the relevant ministries.
