About Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition

The Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition is the umbrella organization that acts as an observer of the Kimberley Process on behalf of civil society. Its industry counterpart in the KP is the World Diamond Council, which equally has observer status. Most coalition members come from Africa, the world’s main diamond producing continent. Representing communities affected by diamond mining and trade, they strive to improve diamond sector governance in their home countries. Their local and regional expertise enables them to follow up on KP implementation on the ground and articulate a grassroots perspective on the diamond sector at the KP forum. The coalition includes representatives from Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Lesotho, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. One member is based in Belgium, which is the home country of the world’s principle trading hub for rough diamonds.
