The Programme further supported the MRD through donation of a high-end scanner to digitize publications which can now be uploaded and accessed through the Geodata Digital Library. This will significantly improve geodata management across the country and will allow external researchers and developers within Fiji to access relevant publications\, promoting greater collaboration and knowledge sharing.  \nCurrently\, access to the geodata library is limited to users within Fiji.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Organized by the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme\, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme\, and hosted by the Government of Zambia\, the forum brought together over 140 participants from 30 countries.    \nThe forum enabled knowledge exchange among various stakeholders\, including government representatives\, UNDP country office representatives\, environmental agencies\, ASM associations\, mining enterprises\, chambers of mines\, international organizations\, NGOs\, academic institutions\, and private sector entities. Key topics included sustainable ASM practices\, governance tools\, ASM and large-scale mining linkages\, value-addition innovations\, digital market integration\, mineral information management\, and the role of critical minerals in clean energy transition.    \nThe outcomes of the forum included knowledge sharing\, innovation exchange\, policy advocacy\, and networking to foster collaboration and advance sustainable and inclusive mineral value chains.

The two analyses included a detailed profiling of the ASM sector and a review of relevant legal\, policy\, and institutional frameworks governing ASM in Tanzania. The analyses also addressed the environmental\, health\, safety\, and socio-economic impacts of ASM\, and emphasized gender-inclusive strategies to promote equal opportunities for both men and women within the value chain in Tanzania. \nPolicy discussions also focused on aligning the ASM sector with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)\, particularly to enhance women’s participation. The event also promoted networking and capacity-building among media practitioners to improve reporting on AMV activities while reflecting on regional implementation strategies and drawing lessons from countries in East and Southern Africa.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
