Dear Tiffany and colleagues,

Thanks for sharing this information on the Rule of Law assessment. This is a practical tool for exploring the challenges and opportunities for strengthening the public administration of the mining sector in ways  ensure the rights of women and men at the community level are protected. These include the rights to participation, access to information, and justice in line with Principle 10 and the Bali guidelines. The toolkit seems especially flexible for adapting to local context. This is of course important in terms of national ownership and practical application. Even more important than the survey questions is the process that the ROLPA toolkit is used to support broader awareness raising and capacity building activities in line with each country's policy frameworks and SD priorities.
