Abstract

This article analyses the form of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in sub-Saharan Africa, more particularly in the mining sector in Senegal. To that end, account has to be taken of the major institutional characteristics of low-income countries. One of the major characteristics is the existence of weak states. We show a quadruple characterization: a weak commitment of the state; a still high degree of corruption; a poor decentralisation process; a weak social state that makes companies uncomfortable with their CSR practices.
