Abstract:This research report analyses the trading networks within the mining sector and their links to military, economic and political actors in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The geographical focus of the study is the provinces of North and South Kivu, and Ituri in Orientale Province, where artisanal mining is a significant economic activity, pushing people out of agricultural employment and offering political, economic and military players an opportunity to generate more revenue for themselves. The main research themes are the modus operandi of mineral trading networks, the impact of the local political economy on the mining sector, and the militarization of the mining sector.
