The LION Programme: Progress Through Procurement | Nils Handler

The Natural Resources Podcast

Not a mineral producing nation per se, Germany is a fundamental player in international cooperation in the extractives sector. Consolidating this position, the German Federal Institute for Geoscience and Natural Resources (BGR) has launched the LION programme, seeking to improve local procurement in the mining supply chain.
To understand the programme's goals and progress, we talk to Nils Handler, Policy Advisor with BGR and Project Manager of LION.
