This study explores the factors that hinder the implementation of its legal framework for mining. A combination of qualitative explorative methods was applied, including an innovative tool called “Process Net-Map”, a visual participatory mapping technique. The results help to explain the governance challenges of the ASM sector, enabling identification of policy reform options to address them.

"The toolkit itself is intended for Good Delivery List (GDL) refiners sourcing directly from artisanal miners, and for others who source or intend to source from suppliers. The toolkit is also intended for those suppliers, to enable them to comply with GDL refiners and the LBMA’s requirements from them."

TIF's lease-to-purchase programme demonstrates one way to successfully invest in safe and responsible gold production in East Africa.
