EnglishFrenchSpanish
The purpose of this guide is to help in compiling supporting documents for the purposes of obtaining financing for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) businesses. Given the diversity of ASGM operations, this guide provides an overview of the creation of three types of business organizations: 1) Sole Proprietorship for Individual Miners, 2) Partnership or Small Business, and 3) Corporation. This is followed by a discussion on each of the business plan elements.
This curriculum is intended to introduce the basics of artisanal and small scale gold mining to potential financiers, with the aim of encouraging more private investment in the sector.
The Impact Facility outlines key mining equipment profiles, with the intention of helping mining investors and money lending institutions to understand what artisanal miners are seeking financial resources for, the machine profitability and their actual worth in the mining sector.
This publication provides seven entry points for mainstreaming gender into planning, monitoring, and reporting for revised or updated National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) that are aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
