About

Preliminary findings show that the main use of gypsum in Tanzania is for the road construction and cement production. The gypsum produced in Makanya Ward has been transported to cement plant (Tanga Cement PLC) in Tanga Region. University of Groningen's Mining industry, CSR and Local Development course will teach you more about that.

Overview

Careers

By focusing on the local perspective (local development), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and economics, University of Groningen's Mining industry, CSR and Local Development will raise key questions such as:

What are the basic principles of gypsum processing?

Is there any guiding policy/legislation for gypsum mining in Tanzania?

What are the main uses of gypsum produced in Same District?

Who are potential clients of gypsum produced in Same District?

Are there any other potential clients for the gypsum produced in Same District?

What is the current daily usage of gypsum of the key customer, (For example, Tanga Cement PLC)?

Who is receiving revenues generated from the gypsum produced? Is there any appropriation?

How does the added value looks like in each of the steps of the (Global) value chain

In which way are governments involved with activities in the (Global) Value Chain (they are part of the institutional environment)

Are the local people communities based in Makanya Ward benefiting from the revenue generated?
