In the Philippines, faced with criticism of it’s abuses and local opposition
to its operations, TVI Pacific, with direct funding from the
Canadian government through CIDA, launched a goat rearing project
targeting support on the wives of their workers. The project is locally
identified as failing as most of the goats were eaten rather than becoming
a breeding herd for more sustainable livelihood. Meanwhile the
open pit mine adversely affected food security. [based on testimony
collected by PIPLinks]
