2 The Challenge for the Extractive Industry: Managing relationships & expectations with local communities Global markets observe CSR practices and sustainable relations with local communities.

Strict environmental, socio-economic, and contractual regulations make it difficult for companies to welcome unqualified suppliers. Little knowledge about local capabilities and competences.

3 The Challenge for Locals: Gaining access to the supply chain Locals often lack understanding or knowledge around: Capabilities; Ability to innovate; Paths to satisfying client needs; Accessing the supply chain; and/or Becoming a qualified supplier. Modest local government support exists for private sector and capacity building programs. Locals may not meet industry standards around safety and quality due to: Informal businesses practices; Little knowledge of quality certifications; Deficiency in technical regulations.
