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.
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 catalog is showing many types of mercury-free alternative technologies which can be implemented by ASGM miners. The technologies are categorized by ore types e.g primary ore and alluvial ore.
With the passing of Law 11/2018 Concerning the Minamata Convention and Presidential Regulation 21/2019 Concerning the National Action Plan on the Reduction and Elimination of Mercury (RAN-PPM) in any sector, usage of mercury will be restricted and forbidden in the trade, manufacturing, and mining sectors. With regard to the mining sector, use of mercury will even be forbidden for the Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) sector.
