Ainsi, le présent de module de formation sur l’entrepreneuriat en contexte des exploitations minières artisanales et à petite échelle est élaboré et mis en place par le service des Investissements, des formations et enseignements de AGC pour répondre au besoin exprimé par les artisans miniers.

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.

In this context, this study assessed total Hg (THg) in blood, urine and hair, and methylmercury (MeHg) in human hair samples from 238 participants with occupational exposure to Hg in the most relevant ASGM communities of Colombia.

The Centre for Environment Justice and Development (CEJAD) conducted a detailed investigation of the extent of mercury use in ASGM sites in Mikei, Masara and Osiri in Kenya.

The focus in this report is on five countries: Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia, featuring case studies of the most severe active gold mining fronts.

This poster designed by the planetGOLD Burkina Faso project was created to share information with local communities in mining areas on the ways in which mercury use accumulates in and impacts the environment.

Consciente de la frecuencia con que los mineros juegan a las cartas en su tiempo libre, el proyecto hermano de planetGOLD en Ecuador diseñó estas tarjetas educativas para distribuirlas en las zonas mineras como herramienta de concienciación. Los naipes contienen más de 50 datos diferentes sobre tecnologías mineras, mercurio, formalización y mucho más.
