Methodology

We have adopted a qualitative research approach, surveying and interviewing approximately 60 key informants: Canadian mining officials, host government officials, legislators and civil society representatives, in Canada, Burkina Faso and Ghana. We also conducted a significant document search to gather other (home and host) country-specific evidence. We adopted a mixed method of data collection because we recognize that traditional social science methods like surveys and quantitative studies run the risk of being identified with police interrogations, and they may produce embarrassed silence and biased results. By engaging in semi-structured conversations and by immersing ourselves in people’s everyday discourses, we were able to gather a contextual richness (including observations and anecdotes) typically lost in purely quantitative research.
