3.7 Thriving Communities - Livelihoods Anglo American operations are often located in remote areas with limited alternative economic activities and employment opportunities and high levels of unemployment. Lack of employment opportunities is one of the primary concerns expressed by most host communities and there are high expectations amongst host communities for employment at Anglo American operations which can be a source of community unrest. We will seek to ensure residents in host communities will have access to employment opportunities that will allow them to improve their standard of living and their livelihoods. 3.7.1 Sishen Livelihoods Focus of the livelihoods work for 2020 is to verify the offsite jobs supported baseline, and to identify opportunities in existing processes to maximise creation of jobs offsite. A livelihoods development plan is to be developed by end of 2020, to meet the 2025 and 2030 jobs supported targets. 3.7.1 Sishen Livelihoods - WESSA Services WESSA is using the WESSA Sishen Education Centre as a platform to create jobs both for the centre itself, and for the support services required to operate the centre and the Sishen Nature Reserve.
