Mining God’s way: towards mineral resource justice with artisanal gold miners in East Africa.
The daily livelihood practices of artisanal gold miners have social, economic, environmental, and governance impacts. Three situations were observed in East Africa, where interventions towards improving livelihoods or mitigating these impacts, have resulted in impasses. These impasses are engaged through practical theology and the thesis culminates in an understanding of just resource development as the appropriate means for mining God’s way, with mineral resource justice under God, as its particular ends in the situation.
