Abstract

Mining sector is one of key economic sectors in Burkina Faso. Its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) and its leadership in the country’s export earnings make it the most attractive sector both inside and outside the country. However, this fancy for mining activities remains smeared by a strong presumption of corruption. Through the current research, we analyze factors that explain the corrupt behavior from mining enterprises in their location areas. This local level analysis based on behavioral approach has identified some significant local factors that stimulate corruption in situ. So, using data on corruption presumption, we reached to key results that negative effects of mining activities on local communities’ wellbeing can lead these enterprises to corrupt local leaders, religious leaders, civil society organizations leaders, etc.
