Establishing a foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at African Mines: The Case of Ghana'My PhD project 'Establishing a foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at African Mines: The Case of Ghana' seeks to explore CSR in the Mining Industry in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA), using the lifecycle approach to examine how CSR issues during the exploration phase of projects 'impact' strategy during the development and operational phases.
An eclectic range of qualitative research methods will be used to collect primary data from mineral exploration companies, large scale mining companies and residents of host-communities. Data analysis will be undertaken using the thematic incident technique, aided by NVivo 10.12 software
The rationale for this research is to introduce the lifecycle element to mining CSR research in sub-Saharan Africa, a key issue that has not engaged the attention of scholars and practitioners in the field. This will facilitate a much-needed ‘rethink’ and ultimately shift the focus of analysis on the subject from examination of individual actions taken at particular mining sites toward more comprehensive assessments of community engagement strategies and reflecting on how these shape contemporary CSR strategy.
Overall, the research seeks to conduct a detailed analysis of community engagement strategies adopted by mining companies and host-communities’ response to these. This will offer a blueprint for stakeholders in the mining sector to ‘rethink’ their approaches to CSR and community development
