This book provides a broad and multi-country perspective on natural resource development and governance in sub-Saharan Africa. It looks beyond the resource curse to examine the intricate dynamics that underpin the public policies and corporate strategies that define natural resource management in Africa. Through exploring environmental transparency and accountability, the need to reduce corruption within the resource sector and empower local communities is highlighted. The importance of using mineral proceeds to reduce inequality and poverty is also discussed, with a particular focus on the protection of marginalised groups, indigenous peoples, and gender equality.This book presents a framework for natural resource management that produces sustainable development and a fair distribution of profits. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers working within resource, development, and African economics.
