INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Making Mining Money Work (3MW): Follow the Money, a booklet by Caritas Zambia. This comic, simplifies concepts on mine revenue distribution, ensuring communities benefit from the wealth generated by mining activities.
Mining has long been a cornerstone of Zambia’s economy. However, the true potential of these resources can only be realised when the revenues foster development within the local communities that host these mining operations. The Rating Act of 2018 provides a framework for local councils to collect mining revenue and channel it into community development projects. This booklet illustrates the critical aspects of this legislation and how it can create a brighter future for all.
Our comic highlights the essential role of transparent and accountable allocation of mining funds.
Themes include thriving communities, transparent fund allocation, community transformation, capacity building, effective revenue collection, community engagement, and collaborative development. We hope to inspire and educate communities on making mining money work for their benefit, building a future where mineral revenues drive meaningful and sustainable development for all.
Enjoy the journey of 3MW and let’s follow the money!
