 So my presentation is going to focus on what we did in Zimbabwe under the data extractors program, where we trained local communities to use data and how this enabled them to secure a voice in budget allocations. So the background to this is that mainly there is available data that most people, including even the civil society organizations, as well as the communities, they are not utilizing with regards to advocacy for improved transparency and accountability in the management of mineral wealth. So these also include the budgets, like we have the local authority budgets, like the rural district council budgets, and also financial statements by mining companies. You'll find that there are companies that are publicly disclosing, like what Duncan has mentioned earlier on, under the UK and also Canada listing those listed companies. So these you would find that most civil society organizations and communities would not utilize such kind of information, which is publicly available. This is what I've just mentioned before, like the EU, UK and Canada mandatory disclosure of payments. And also we also realize that communities, most communities, they do not have information about their rights to access to information within the communities or the countries that they reside in. And this is mainly also with regards to the areas that we are working in. And just also to mention as part of the background that the communities that we worked with mainly were within the mining sector. And these included Marangay. We also have where Zimplats is mining and Zimbabwe, where we call Mondorongese, and also Caledonia, which is in Gwanda, and Unki, which is in Shorugwe. Unki is mainly mining platinum, and Zimplats is also specializing in platinum. Marangay is in Diamond, and Caledonia it's called. So what we did under the Publishers to Pay Extractors program, we trained the communities having realized that we can't only have the civil society organizations as the voice of the communities, but they should also voice up their concerns and also act upon the issues affecting their lives. So we trained the communities, as you can see on that picture, these communities were trained on how to extract already existing and available data using the internet. So what we actually did, I think one challenge also is that most communities, they reside in the rural areas where there isn't much with regards to internet access. So we had to bring them in a local town close to the rural areas, and then that's an internet café where they were being trained on how to extract data and use the internet. What data can they extract and how can they analyze that kind of data? So this was done through a training. And what we also did was the use of data user story template. This is one guy with a template that is written a name, his name, and where he is from and the kind of information that you would want to know. Those who can see it's written, I need to know information on texts being extracted from mines in Shorugui. And what does he want to do with the information so that I can action in relation to development programs in the district. So these are the kind of data templates that we produced and also posted online. And even also to the various mining companies operating in the area and also to the relevant government departments in Zimbabwe. So out of this, we realized that as a result, communities, now that they have understanding of the kind of information that they are supposed to assess and also use for advocacy, for change within their lives, they managed to start engaging the various relevant authorities, operating government, mining companies. And they also started to participate in budget formulation processes. You'll find that previously before communities would shun away from such kind of meetings being called by rural district councils to participate in budgeting processes. And you'll find that mining companies, they also pay Texas to the rural district councils within these districts. And it's also important for communities to know how much revenue was being paid by the mining companies to these authorities and how this has been allocated and used for the benefit of communities, especially for improved social service delivery. So they managed to start participating and actually during the trainings, one of the communities actually acknowledged that we do not participate in this because they mainly like to participate where they are being given food aid. But through these trainings, they managed to understand and also realize the importance of participating in such kind of meetings being called by the rural district councils. And also the community started to collect data and analyzing it for the use of change, especially for improved social service delivery. And they also started doing some social audits. You'll find that companies also, they pay a levy in Zimbabwe to what we call the raw electrification levy to the ZESA, which is the Zimbabwe electrical supply authority in Zimbabwe. And this is also supposed to meant for benefit of the communities, especially in the rural areas, with regards to either putting up electricity within the communities or servicing the various hospitals, clinics, schools where they are, I mean, for electrical facilities. And this money is supposed also to be used for that. But you'll find that most of them would not even know about such kind of levy is being paid to the various authorities and how to really also monitor and track down how these are being used for their own benefits. So you'll find they also started analyzing the corporate social responsibility budgets by mining companies. And this is just one example of one of the companies, Zimplats. And you'll find that towards education, sports development, income generating projects, how much they've been contributing. So most of these communities, they are really backward with regards to education, infrastructure development, health facilities. And it's also disattaining to see that what this company is mainly prioritized with regards to corporate social responsibility is something to do with sports, whereby about a million dollars went towards sporting activities 2017, 2016 and only about 161,000 went towards building or improving education facilities within these communities. So these are the kind of information now that the communities are trying to understand and also breaking down what that kind of information means and how best they can use that information for advocacy. This is also another example of how communities also managed to assess. You'll find that this is for Zimplats in Zimbabwe, the platinum mining company. I think in blue, you'll find that 42% went towards procurement costs. And under the Africa Mining Vision, which is one of the initiatives that also try to advocate and also uphold the good governance and management of natural resources, it also states that mining companies also need to promote local enterprise development, local content development. But it's also disattaining to see that most of their costs goes towards procurement costs, which is also out of the country and leaving out the communities who may also be able to supply some of these things that they will be procuring outside, but also even just to train and also improve the skills and capacity of the local communities to be able to also provide such kind of equipment and machinery that they might need or various things that they might need for their mining. So in conclusion, we realize that before I get to the conclusion, I also just need to add that the communities cannot be fooled anymore. Previously, the companies would just take advantage of the ignorance by the communities and their lack of knowledge, but now they are really aware of their one, their rights that they are entitled to and how best to demand and also defend their rights, even in cases of violations and how also to advocate for change, the change they want to see within the communities. I think we also all heard about the missing 15 billion within Marangay or the diamond mining sector in Zimbabwe during the era of the president, the former president Robert Mgabi. But communities, they are also trying to see how these leakages happened so that a country would lose about 15 billion, which is a lot, quite a lot. And if one is to visit Zimbabwe right now, Marangay is one of the communities which is really behind with regards to development. It's even worse than some of the districts where there is no mining and yet diamonds, they bring a lot in terms of revenue generation. So now the communities, we are also starting to show us the money campaign during this year, which will also try to follow and track what is really happening to the revenues with being generated from mining and how best this can be used for their social service delivery. So in conclusion, we realize that civil society organizations must not be a barrier to change. Why? Because mostly especially with regards to information such as transparency, advocacy, accountability, information and everything, you find that CSOs are mainly on the four, I mean, running with such issues and also doing small advocacy work, leaving out the communities who are mainly the people affected. So it is important that communities must be empowered to demand the change they want to see and that they also demand this change and that their voices be heard. And equipping communities based organizations with skills to identify their information needs to make sources of information extract and analyze data and using data to demand change. So this is one way that can be used to make sure that these communities are equipped and empowered to be able to engage the various authorities, even mining companies and government. And also social accountability platforms such as participatory budgeting and mining company engagement forum with communities presents opportunities to hold account government and mining companies to be accountable. Thank you.
