The International Tin Supply Chain Initiative (ITSCI) is a program designed to ensure the responsible sourcing of minerals, particularly tin, tantalum, and tungsten, from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in Africa. Established in response to concerns over the link between mineral trade and armed conflict, ITSCI provides a framework for traceability, due diligence, and risk assessment along the supply chain. The initiative operates in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda, and Uganda, where it works closely with governments, companies, and local communities to verify the origin of minerals and ensure compliance with international standards like the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance.
