Formalizing Artisanal and SmallScale Mining for Inclusive
The handbook builds on the IGF Guidance for Governments: Managing artisanal and smallscale mining, and was launched at the IGFs Annual General Meeting last October in Geneva. It has been developed in support of the Minamata Convention on Mercury and focuses specifically on artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM), but it can also be useful for the wider ASM sector.
