El análisis comparativo que se detalla en este documento extrae enseñanzas de los esfuerzos realizados por nueve países planetGOLD participantes en la primera fase del programa, poniendo de relieve las similitudes y diferencias entre los distintos entornos geográficos y normativos. Este análisis se basa en estudios de caso detallados de las experiencias de estos países.

Cette analyse s’appuie sur des études de cas détaillées des expériences menées dans ces pays. Pour huit de ces pays, les études de cas ont été développées grâce à la collaboration des équipes nationales planetGOLD respectives avec The Impact Facility (TIF) et l’Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM).
