Global Witness

Global Witness exposes the corrupt exploitation of natural resources and the international trade systems, to drive campaigns that end impunity, resource-linked conflict, and human rights and environmental abuses. Natural resources could be the key to ending Africa's poverty, and making it, and other areas of the developing world, the economic powerhouses they should be. But Global Witness believes that neither governments nor industry have shown the leadership or the vision to create the sea change in the international architecture that is necessary to make natural resources a benefit and not a curse. Global Witness also believes that this sea change is possible.
