Under phase 1 of the planetGOLD programme
The publications below synthesize planetGOLD project initiatives among the initial group of countries in the programme, which supported the formalization of artisanal and small-scale gold mining.
The reports give an overview of background information to contextualize each country project's formalization initiatives, then presents the key interventions that supported the formalization of ASGM in each context. The reports conclude with key lessons learned and recommendations.
