Conçu dans le cadre du projet planetGOLD Côte d’Ivoire, ce guide est un outil pratique d’information et d’accompagnement destiné aux artisans miniers, aux coopératives et aux autres acteurs du secteur de l’exploitation minière artisanale et à petite échelle (EMAPE) de l’or. Il présente le cadre légal et réglementaire de l’activité minière en Côte d’Ivoire, les procédures administratives de formalisation, les bonnes pratiques en matière de sécurité et de protection de l’environnement, ainsi que les technologies alternatives au mercure et les mécanismes de financement adaptés au secteur. À travers cette publication, le projet planetGOLD Côte d

As part of the health campaign “Working Together Toward Healthier Gold Communities,” planetGOLD Suriname, in collaboration with Medische Zending Primary Health Care Suriname (MZPHCS), developed this story-based visual to raise awareness about the health risks associated with alcohol use and smoking.

The visual provides simple and practical information on how alcohol and tobacco can affect health and well-being. Through clear illustrations and accessible messages, it encourages individuals and communities to make healthier choices and reduce behaviors that may negatively affect their health.

As part of the health campaign “Working Together Toward Healthier Gold Communities,” planetGOLD Suriname, in collaboration with Medische Zending Primary Health Care Suriname (MZPHCS), developed this story-based visual to raise awareness about the potential health effects of mercury exposure.

The visual highlights how mercury can affect different parts of the body and may cause serious health problems, particularly after repeated or prolonged exposure. Through clear illustrations and accessible messages, the material helps gold mining communities recognize the risks and understand the importance of preventing and reducing mercury exposure.

As part of the health campaign “Working Together Toward Healthier Gold Communities,” planetGOLD Suriname, in collaboration with Medische Zending Primary Health Care Suriname (MZPHCS), developed this story-based visual to explain how mercury can enter the human body.

The visual illustrates the main pathways of mercury exposure, including inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Through simple illustrations and clear messages, it helps gold mining communities understand how exposure can occur and promotes greater awareness of the importance of reducing contact with mercury.

As part of the health campaign “Working Together Toward Healthier Gold Communities,” planetGOLD Suriname, in collaboration with Medische Zending Primary Health Care Suriname (MZPHCS), developed this story-based visual to raise awareness about the health risks associated with mercury exposure.

The visual highlights groups that are particularly vulnerable to mercury exposure and helps communities better understand why these groups require extra protection. Using clear illustrations and accessible messages, the material supports community awareness and encourages safer practices in and around artisanal and small-scale gold mining areas.

The Beware of Mercury brochure outlines the health effects of mercury on pregnant women, children, the environment, and the community. It also covers the signs and symptoms of mercury poisoning, safe handling practices, and the dangers of exposure. In addition, it briefly explains the work of the planetGOLD Zimbabwe project and how miners and communities can engage with its efforts to build a responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector.

This study investigates blockchain adoption barriers among artisanal and small-scale mining operators in
Zambia’s Ndola Rural Emerald Restricted Area (NRERA) and proposes a Blockchain-enabled Sustainable Business
Model (BSBM) to enhance sustainability and profitability.
