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

This guideline was developed as a reference for stakeholders on how gender mainstreaming is carried out in the management of mercury-free ASGM.

This capacity-building package has been designed for policymakers to guide them on how to promote gender equality across all levels of policy and programming in climate change, and to provide them with the necessary tools to do so.

The study involved reviewing the existing ASGM related policy and regulatory framework in light of gender dimensions in the ASGM sector in Kenya

The purpose of this compilation and analysis of Conservation on Biological Diversity (CBD) decisions and recommendations is to support decision-makers, negotiators and advocates in monitoring the implementation of gender-sensitive and gender-responsive policies, programmes, and activities under the Convention.

This report compiles toolkits, guidelines, and legal frameworks that have been devised and used by governments, international organizations, and civil society organizations to identify and address the gendered impacts of mining operations. It also features three case studies where these tools have been applied.

This publication presents case studies of instances where mining companies adopted policies and practices to support gender equality and social inclusion. Case studies focus on Chile, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mauritania, and South Africa. Each of the following cases is accompanied by an analysis of the relevant regulatory framework enabling good mining practice, as well as key lessons learned.

The Gold We Choose explores the legacy of the planetGOLD Philippines Project, capturing its milestones, partnerships, and the lives it has transformed. Through compelling stories from the ground, striking images of change, and the voices of miners, leaders, and communities, this book honors a sector often overlooked, yet vital to both local and national economies.

More than a record of achievements, it is a powerful testament to what becomes possible when people come together to build a small-scale gold mining industry that is mercury-free, safer, cleaner, and truly inclusive.

From the mining tunnels of Paracale to the highlands of Sagada, this

This study is an assessment of the existing legal and policy framework in the Philippines on artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in order to determine the pathways for the formalization of the ASGM sector. The study specifically aims to: (1) Review and analyze the existing policies and legal framework governing the ASGM sector, gold trading, and illicit financial flows (IFF) in the Philippines; (2) Assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the laws and regulations governing ASGM in the two project sites, namely: Paracale, Camarines Norte and Sagada, Mountain Province; (3) Identify the gaps and barriers, both legal and non-legal
