CSR-in-action, NEITI, MDA to converge on Lagos for 11th SITEI conference

CSR–in-Action will be hosting its 11th Sustainability in the Extractive Industries (SITEI) Conference and CAHR Africa Awards 2022 on Tuesday, 22 November 2022 at Victoria Island, Lagos.

Existing and invited partners of the Conference include Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources (FMPR), Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (FMMSD), Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN), Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), and Zenera Consulting.

The SITEI Conference was birthed in conjunction with the Deputy High Commission of Canada in October 2012, in Lagos. The SITEI Conference which is in its 11th year, is an annual conference that features active dialogue and focused interactions among global industry stakeholders  in business, government, community, civil society, development institution, academia and the media – leading to enhanced community participation transparency and accountability, including increased gender considerations in the sector.

The presentation of the CAHR Africa Awards, which promotes and rewards individual and business best practices in human rights and development across Africa, will again be the highlight of  this year’s SITEI Conference.

The theme for SITEI 2022 is Holistic Inclusion in the Extractive Industries, which seeks to explore the reforms that are possible with the implementation of national government and multilateral best practices recommendations for mineral resources exploration, with a focus on how the accruable benefits for suppliers, women, youth, business and communities are equally advanced.
