This briefing note provides supply chain managers and technical end users on oil, gas and mining (OGM) projects in low income countries with practical guidance on maximising the involvement of local enterprises in the project supply chain.

Many OGM companies are beginning to recognise the business benefits that can flow from providing opportunities for local people and enterprises.

Supporting local economic development by engaging local enterprises in the project supply chain can, for example, significantly reduce project social risk.

Successful outcomes can also enhance the company’s reputation with key local government and community stakeholders, which is critical for gaining access to additional reserves and ore bodies.
