This ASM handbook for the English speaking Eastern and Northern African Regions will serve as a guide on how to benefit from geological survey involvement in the ASM sector. It is the result of a training session which took place in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from 13 to 16 November 2023, with participants from 16 countries from the Eastern and Northern African Regions.
This is a project that supports the training of geoscientific staff from African Geological Surveys through the development of an innovative training programme that includes the acquisition and development of important professional skills to complement their technical capabilities and qualifications. You can download documents related to the project here.
The training is focused on capacity building and understanding the concepts and practices of OHS issues in ASGM. It aims at educating artisanal miners in the OHS standard compliance, identification of hazards and risks, measurement, prevention, control and remediation of mine site-related hazards, and health risks caused by mercury.
