Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) plays a vital role in Uganda's economic development, providing significant income and employment opportunities for miners and their communities. Since the planetGOLD project began in Uganda two years ago, the progress within the ASGM sector has been remarkable. This publication highlights the impact of the planetGOLD project, featuring stories directly from artisanal miners and our partners. 

This knowledge hub aims to strengthen and disseminate knowledge on linkages between ASGM practices and biodiversity. Learn more why it matters and what is the current knowledge on the topic, and explore the library of resources, news and events.
