October 2016 Second Negotiation Handbook for Communities and Traditional Leaders: Obligations of Corparates
Abstract
This Book is the second in a series of three books that together constitute the “Negotiation
Handbook for Communities and Traditional Leaders”. The series of books is a product of the Jesuit
Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) partnership with Diakonia and the Embassy of Sweden,
under which the JCTR has been implementing the Strengthened Accountability Programme (SAP)
in Solwezi in the North Western Province since 2014. One of the activities under the SAP was to
produce a negotiation handbook for communities and traditional leaders to help them negotiate
with local authorities and corporates. The series contributes to meeting the project outcome:
“Targeted corporate sector acts transparently, are accountable to the rights holders, and contribute
to socio – economic justice in targeted districts of North Western Province.
Description
The negotiation handbook is a tool to be used by traditional leaders and their communities to enable
them to demand accountability from local state institutions and compel corporate to demonstrate
good corporate citizenship. The handbook will help traditional leaders, community leaders and
members so that they can represent their communities and participate in making the decisions
that affect them and to raise awareness of important issues when dealing with local and national
government, and the large companies that operate in their areas.
