Emerging Practices in Community Development Agreements

This briefing note highlights leading practices in the negotiation and implementation of CDAs. The note reviews existing research, as well as the text from available agreements from the extractive sector in Australia, Canada, Ghana, Greenland, Laos, and Papua New Guinea to highlight these leading practices.

A slightly revised version of the briefing note was also published in the Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy.
