The curriculum has been designed as an introductory level course on basic knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable artisanal and small-scale miners to run more sustainable, responsible, and profitable enterprises with focus on key safety and health concerns.

En un programa académico de 48 horas virtuales, divididas en ocho (8) módulos, se invita a todas las personas interesadas en fortalecer sus conocimientos, descubriendo conceptos iniciales sobre el mercurio, sus efectos en la salud y el medio ambiente, comprender el enfoque de género en este campo y proponiendo soluciones para la eliminación de esta sustancia tóxica de los territorios. 

The guideline of Good Mining Practice (GMP) was developed based on the conditions of small-scale primary gold mining in Indonesia which is focusing on the technical level as well as mining safety and environmental management during the primary and post-mining gold mining processes.  GMP is a technical guideline for supporting small-scale primary gold mining in Indonesia. The information is also useful for stakeholders in the small-scale primary gold mining sector, small-scale mining operators, local governments and local communities living close to small-scale primary gold mining areas.

The training is focused on capacity building and understanding the concepts and practices of OHS issues in ASGM. It aims at educating artisanal miners in the OHS standard compliance, identification of hazards and risks, measurement, prevention, control and remediation of mine site-related hazards, and health risks caused by mercury.

One of the project’s strategies is to strengthen gender mainstreaming in the implementation of each activity to achieve justice and gender equality for artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM). This book, the Guideline for Gender Mainstreaming (GM) in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector (ASGM) has been developed to serve as a reference in the implementation of ASGM governance and mentoring programs for gender-sensitive mining communities for implementing agents and parties related to ASGM at the national, provincial, district/city, and village levels in carrying out gender mainstreaming in the attempt to achieve mercury free and gender equality in ASGM sector. This guideline includes steps for gender mainstreaming in pursuing Mercury Free ASGM in 4 aspects, namely: (i) Gender mainstreaming in the formulation of policies related to ASGM and Mercury Elimination and Reduction, at the government, regional governments, and village government level; (ii) Gender mainstreaming in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Regional Mercury Elimination and Reduction Action Plans; (iii) Gender mainstreaming in community awareness regarding Mercury Free ASGM; and (iv) Gender mainstreaming in the project cycle.
