Environmental Assessment Guidelines and Implementation Toolkit for ASM
This Environmental Assessment Guidelines and Implementation Toolkit was created as a user-friendly technical resource. This toolkit is designed for artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM), field personnel, government officials, consultants, and anyone supporting environment-related ASM projects. Its purpose is to encourage effective environmental assessment, monitoring, and evaluation in the ASM sector, ensuring proper environmental management before, during, and after mining, even with limited technical knowledge. The toolkit is structured into five distinct sections: Environmental Baseline Assessment, Environmental Risk Assessment, Environmental Management Guidelines, Environmental Inspection Checklists, and Filing and Documentation Requirements. Each section provides practical checklists and guidelines to address various environmental management concerns.
Safety, Health and Environment Toolkit for Development Minerals Mining Sites
This toolkit provides guidance on safety, health, and environment (SHE) for Development Minerals mining sites. The toolkit emphasizes the importance of adhering to national and international Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards for sustainable management of Development Minerals.
Community Engagement Toolkit for Development Minerals Mining Sites
This toolkit is designed to guide stakeholders in the Development Minerals sector in establishing effective Grievance Handling Mechanisms (GHMs). It acknowledges the inevitability of conflicts in the mining sector and provides a framework for preventing and managing them fairly. The toolkit outlines common conflict types within the sector, details the components of a GHM, and offers step-by-step guidance on how to implement and operate a GHM at the mine site or community level. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding the local context, engaging key actors, and ensuring that the chosen GHM is legitimate, accessible, equitable, and culturally appropriate.
