Programs: Itsci: the tin supply chain initiative (itsci) program enables small-scale, artisanal miners in the democratic republic of congo, rwanda and burundi to trade legitimate, conflict-free minerals in the wake of the 2010 u. S. Dodd-frank act, which requires companies to show their products do not contain conflict minerals. The itsci mineraltagging system establishes traceability and chain-of-custody information on the 3t minerals - tin, tantalum and tungsten. Through a partnership with itri, the international tin association that developed itsci, pact provides key support, capacity building and technical assistance. The itsci system is used at roughly 800 mine sites, benefitting 80,000 workers in the great lakes region of africa.

Pact has not responded at all within 28 calendar days regarding my enquiry about a program it has implemented which is Coaching Boys Into Men from Futures Without Violence with regard to autism tailoring.
Since some people with autism may disagree with certain messages in such programs, such tailoring can make these programs even more effective by catering for a special audience and can even enhance autism awareness.
