More info on MIGA (which is far more powerful than Oxfam), just to stress the fact that Anvil has already been audited re it's investment in the Congo and since it's the first and only mine to meet their criteria has the bragging rights to best corporate mining entity in the world. Once again not mentioned by the ABC.
Our mission
MIGA�s mission is to promote foreign direct investment into developing countries, in order to support economic growth, reduce poverty and improve people�s lives.
Our principles and goals
MIGA � a global insurer to private investors and adviser to countries on foreign investment � is committed to promoting projects with the greatest development impact, that are economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.
We seek to excel in what we do by continually improving our client services, working in partnership with others, building capacity, and sharing and learning from our experiences.
Our development impact
We aim to support sustainable development by:
Ensuring that our projects are economically and financially sound, meet high environmental and social standards, and are aligned with World Bank Group country assistance strategies.
Stressing good governance in all projects and programs we support.
Helping countries build the capacity to attract good investment.
Listening actively and responding to stakeholder concerns.
Our professional standards
We are committed to the highest professional standards and act with integrity by:
Holding ourselves and our clients to the highest ethical standards.
Being transparent, accountable and equitable while safeguarding business confidentiality.
Being honest, respectful, open and fair in our dealings with each other, with our clients and partners, and with stakeholders.
Maintaining the highest fiduciary standards.
Our record
Concerns about uncertain political environments and perceptions of political risk often inhibit investment, with foreign direct investment (FDI) often going to a handful of countries and leaving the world's poorest economies largely ignored. MIGA is an important catalyst, increasingly promoting FDI � a key driver of growth � into developing countries through its guarantees, technical assistance, and legal services.
