NATURAL RESOURCES
​
Industries that can harness natural resources are vital for many of the world's poorest countries. They are a key source of jobs, energy, government revenues, and a wide array of other benefits for local economies. In Africa and South America, in particular, large-scale sustainable investments in these industries can create equally large-scale gains in economic development.
DAL s goal in oil, gas, and mining is to help developing countries realize these benefits, while helping promote sustainable energy sources. We provide financing and advice for private sector clients, and help governments adopt effective regulations and strengthen their capacity to manage these industries across the value chain. We also work with companies to ensure that local communities enjoy concrete benefits from projects, focusing on transparency, supply chains, jobs, and community engagement.

DAL'S VIEW IN OIL, GAS AND MINING
​
NATURAL RESOURCES, INCLUDING OIL, NATURAL GAS, COPPER, IRON ORE, AND PRECIOUS METALS, CAN BE SIGNIFICANT GENERATORS OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES
​
Natural resources help provide energy for millions of people, help governments increase tax revenues and attract investment, and help bolster employment and infrastructure in remote and low-income areas. At the same time, there are risks involved with developing oil, gas, and mining projects that need to be carefully managed and addressed.
DAL works to support the sustainable development of oil, gas and mining projects in a way that mitigates risk and promotes long-term benefits for local communities.
