  • Exchange on best practices and strengthen synergies to enhance implementation of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Minerals Supply Chains in Latin America, including through industry and multi-stakeholder initiatives
  • Explore specific solutions to address supply chain challenges, including formalisation of the artisanal and small-scale mining sector, the role of law enforcement, implementation of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative and meaningful stakeholder engagement in the extractive sector.
