Since the 1990s, hydrocarbon and mining activities have been an increasingly important part of the economies of the Central Andean nations. The increase in the scale and pace of extraction has, however, also led to a dramatic increase in social conflicts involving states, private corporations, Indigenous communities, NGOs and many other actors. This task force examines, evaluates, and proposes transnational strategies to address and mitigate conflicts over resource extraction in the Andean region. Recommendations will be written for an International NGO with a presence in the Andean region, and will provide guidance on how the NGO can engage local communities, transnational corporations, national governments and civil society in the creation of space for and mechanisms of conflict prevention and resolution.
