National Action Plan for Reducing Mercury Use in the ASGM Sector in Sierra Leone

The goal of Sierra Leone's National Action Plan (NAP) is to formalize, sensitize and assist miners, traders, their communities and other relevant stakeholders in an inclusive and comprehensive manner, in order to mitigate the sector’s negative social, environmental and health impacts and to unlock the sector’s full development potential. The reduction of mercury use and the mitigation of its harmful impacts are among the NAP’s key priorities.
