“…A sound partnership between mining companies and the communities is the way in achieving mutual benefits. It is important to conclude that fruitful partnership with the communities should be based on the clear and honest communication, which builds trust (Zvarivadza, 2017). Zvarivadza (2017) the necessary elements for a sustainable agreement between mining companies and the communities.…”

“…Successful partnership between mining companies and the local communities can be a good return on investment. Despite all of the negative views about the mine, the local communities are willing to embrace them if the planning and benefits are clarified and wellexplained (Zvarivadza, 2017). This is because communities have limited capacity and resources so any decisions should be sensitive enough to people (stakeholders involved) (Erdiao-Kwasie & Alam, 2017).…”

“…It is important to create indicators or adopt them from different frameworks to monitor the mining industry's adherence to the sustainable development guidelines. With regards to indicators, it should be the agreement between the stakeholders and the mining companies in assessing sustainable compliance (Zvarivadza, 2018). Some other indicators suggested by the Global Development Research Center (GDRC, 2017) such as the Equator Principles (EP), Human development index (HDI), Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), Pilot Environment Performance Index (EPI), and Ecological footprint (Zvarivadza, 2018).…”

The study used a qualitative approach to gather data from the participants through the interview and focused group discussions (FGD). The participants consisting of 30 for the interview and 11 for the FGD were asked to answer the questions using a semi-structured, open-ended interview guide. The results of the interview and FGD were carefully examined using thematic analysis. The results show that as to the level of awareness of the host communities regarding the different SMDP of the mining companies, there is strong evidence on the high level of awareness of the respondents as to human resource development, enterprise development, assistance to infrastructure development, access to education, access to health services; and protections to respect of socio-cultural values. As to the level of agreement of the impact of the different SMDP implement by the mining companies, the respondents confirmed the positive effects of these programs in relation to education, health, social and cultural, and economic indicators. As to the perception of the respondents on the sustainability of the SMDP, except for the completeness of documents available in the designated SMDP offices in the communities, the respondents confirmed and agreed on the sustainability of the SMDP in terms of stakeholder groups relationship; company financial and management capacity; and compliance with the legal requirements.

“…Community development approaches are recognized globally and are widely used in any discipline. Its interpretation has shown to be very complex, that policy makers, legislators and development experts have come up with its definition with prudence (Nwapi et al;2017). Within the mining industry, community development is used to fulfill social obligations in communities located within the areas of the mining operations (Kemp, 2010;Nwapi, 2017).…”

In this global market, the demand and competition for mining products are very high. However, the adverse impact on the environment and society has become very prevalent. In the World Bank report, there are social issues that still unaddressed; there is the issue of how the benefits are allocated within the host communities, and it’s a challenge to mining companies to behave responsibly especially with their relationship to the host communities. United Nations has committed to “leaving no one behind” in an effort to help countries promote inclusive growth and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Philippine government, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), has established the Republic Act No. 7942, ‘or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995. The Development of Mining Communities has been emphasized in Chapter XIV Section 134-136F of its Consolidated Administrative Order 2010-21. The Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) is mandated to be implemented by all operating mining/quarrying companies to support the education, health, social, cultural and economic aspects in the host communities. Since its implementation in 2011, it was noted that there are inconsistencies in the implementation of the Program. Thus, this research provided the necessary framework and recommendations to help just completed Programs and eventually improve the existing implementation of SDMP of mining companies. The concurrent triangulation mixed-methods research design was utilized wherein both the qualitative and quantitative approaches were simultaneously analyzed. Survey questionnaires were administered to an estimated 376 respondents from the host communities during site visits. In addition, interviews and FGD were conducted to the various community representatives of the same. The results are the basis of a policy framework to help improved and reach its objectives to create self-reliant and resources-based communities.
