The guideline of Good Mining Practice (GMP) was developed based on the conditions of small-scale primary gold mining in Indonesia which is focusing on the technical level as well as mining safety and environmental management during the primary and post-mining gold mining processes.  GMP is a technical guideline for supporting small-scale primary gold mining in Indonesia. The information is also useful for stakeholders in the small-scale primary gold mining sector, small-scale mining operators, local governments and local communities living close to small-scale primary gold mining areas.

One of the project’s strategies is to strengthen gender mainstreaming in the implementation of each activity to achieve justice and gender equality for artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM). This book, the Guideline for Gender Mainstreaming (GM) in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector (ASGM) has been developed to serve as a reference in the implementation of ASGM governance and mentoring programs for gender-sensitive mining communities for implementing agents and parties related to ASGM at the national, provincial, district/city, and village levels in carrying out gender mainstreaming in the attempt to achieve mercury free

In December 2022 the World Bank held a conference which focused on the Bank's Covid-19 emergency response for ASM mining communities. Case studies and testimonies from partner organizations and miners who participated in the COVID-19 emergency response window were shared. This blog has been adapted from the testimony provided by Carlos Henrique Xavier Araujo, PhD candidate and researcher at the Centre for Responsible Mining (NAP. Mineração) at the University of São Paulo.

El Grupo Interinstitucional de Trabajo en Oro Responsable (GIT-OR) es una alianza voluntaria de instituciones de la sociedad civil y académicas que trabajan en Bolivia, que buscan promover el enfoque de Oro Responsable, como una estrategia para reducir los impactos sociales y ambientales negativos que promueve la actividad minera aurífera en la actualidad.

This technical brief highlights the integration of holistic livelihoods interventions into an overall approach aiming to reduce the number of children working in the mines while empowering households and making them more economically resilient.
