Our aim is to foster respect for human rights within Nigeria's extractive sector.

We do this by bringing together companies, government, and communities to understand and implement the Voluntary Principles. It's about ensuring everyone is aware of their responsibilities and rights, leading to a more accountable and just industry for all.

In 2022, FOCONE began its mission to champion human rights in Nigeria's extractive sector.

From the outset, we focused on raising awareness of the Voluntary Principles and the vital role of Human Rights Due Diligence. Our early work involved bringing key stakeholders together to build understanding and encourage the adoption of responsible practices.

On 26th July, 2023, FOCONE participated in the validation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Tool for Nigeria.

Since 2022, we have engaged with over 15 communities.

Through our dedicated work, we've reached these communities, raising awareness about the importance of the Voluntary Principles and human rights in the extractive sector. This direct engagement is crucial to fostering understanding and driving positive change on the ground.
