The document summarizes findings from a sector-wide impact assessment conducted by the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business on the mining sector in Myanmar. The assessment involved field visits to 65 villages across 8 states and regions, consulting over 1,500 individuals. Emerging findings show that most mines visited had not conducted meaningful community consultations. Where consultations did occur, they tended to be brief, conducted only with male village leaders, and not in local languages. Community members felt consultations were often done only to satisfy requirements rather than engage communities. The assessment recommends that governments and companies improve community consultation practices by ensuring participation of all stakeholders, using local languages, providing advance notice and summaries of information in plain language.
