Kilave, Jonas Raphael Corporate of social responsibility . Contribution of mining companies . Mining companies in promotion. A dissertation Submitted to Mzumbe University as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Masters degree of Science in Development Policy (MSc DP) of Mzumbe University. The study assessed the applicability of mineral policy of Tanzania in promoting corporate social responsibility in mining communities in Msalala District, using experience of Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Company. Specifically, it assessed community knowledge about corporate social responsibility, contribution of mining companies in promoting it, affecting factors and ways of enhancing it. The study adopted descriptive study design and involved 79 respondents who were selected purposively and randomly. Data were collected through questionnaires, interview, focus group discussion (FGDS) and documentary review and analyzed through SPSS version 20. The findings indicated that the majority (76.7%) household members and key informants were aware of corporate social responsibility through VEOS offices, village meetings, media, colleagues, policies, and laws. They understood it as the process whereby companies taking part to the development of the society at large. The contribution of mining companies in promoting corporate social responsibility was also examined; the findings indicated that the Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Company supported the community by constructing dispensaries, school desks, bus stand and market, school latrines, government office and community wells. However, the projects were negatively perceived by the people because they were less involved in the projects. Further the company brought negative effects to the study area such as HIV and AIDS, environmental pollution, inflation, increased poverty and land grabbing. Facilitating factors of corporate social responsibility were compliance with laws, seeking relationship, improving company image, and response to public pressure. Hindrances of it were profit motives, inadequate coordination, poor community participation and inadequate monitoring of mining activities. Basing on the findings, it is recommended that the mining communities be involved in the project’s initiation and implementations; commitment to promoting it and coordination of activities related to corporate social responsibility be improved; and awareness creation be prioritized, if corporate social responsibility has to be achieved Private 2024-09-11T11:17:37Z 2024-09-11T11:17:37Z 2017 Thesis https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/1223 en application/pdf Mzumbe university |
