ITSCI Implementing Teams
Implementing due diligence in high risk areas for business compliance requires multi-skilled, multi-lingual expertise
The ITSCI Secretariat
International Tin Association
The ITSCI Secretariat is the not-for-profit International Tin Association based in the UK. We manage all day-to-day activities essential to support such a large programme as ITSCI, particularly administration of membership, contracts and financing. The Secretariat also holds and shares information as agreed, and plays an important role in managing traceability data and procedures.

On the Ground Teams
Kumbuka Afrika
After more than 10 years of successful progress, our field implementation partner Pact and ITSCI believed that local management teams had the ability and expertise to lead and deliver the implementation of ITSCI on the ground. Pursuing the vision of enhancing local ownership, all in-region Pact staff working on ITSCI transitioned to a local non-profit organisation through a localisation process. ITSCI and Pact worked together to facilitate the transition. Starting October 2023, activities of the ITSCI Programme in the Great Lakes Region started to be managed by the non-profit organisation ‘Kumbuka Afrika’, under the leadership of Mr Yves Bawa who as Pact’s DRC, Burundi, Rwanda Country Director implemented ITSCI over the past 10 years. All ITSCI on-the-ground management teams also transitioned to Kumbuka Afrika in a seamless process.
Yves Bawa
Yves is Congolese and has been working with ITSCI since 2011 to manage the regional operations. He is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Kumbuka Afrika.
