The Mining Shared Value (MSV) initiative of Engineers Without Borders has been able to influence the global mining industry to affect a major system norm: where and how mining companies purchase goods and services needed for a mine. This intervention has the potential to unleash tens of billions of dollars back into the economies of developing countries, fuelling public and private sector capacity.
