Knowledge Exchange: Responsible Investors and Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining

A potential source of formal finance for the ASGM sector may be Socially Responsible Investors (SRIs). For SRIs to engage in ASGM they need to be aware of the sector and be willing to consider it for future investment. This report summarizes efforts undertaken as part of the planetGOLD global project to increase awareness and understanding of the sector among the SRI community, with a goal of growing the pool of SRIs who may consider working with the ASGM sector in the future to strengthen livelihoods and enable improved environmental, social, and economic outcomes.
