SUMMARY:Training on Business Development for Small-Scale Mining
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][uncode_custom_fields post_type=”tribe_venue” field_elements=”value”][vc_column_text]In October 2024\, the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme conducted a training in Brazzaville for artisanal and small-scale miners. The training aimed to strengthen participants’ entrepreneurial and management skills\, introduce business planning as a practical decision-making tool\, and promote more inclusive and sustainable mining practices.  \nParticipants take part in a training on business development and business planning\nThe workshop provided participants with knowledge on key aspects of managing and developing small-scale mining enterprises. Sessions addressed topics such as business planning\, access to finance\, marketing strategies\, the creation and management of business entities and cooperatives\, as well as basic accounting principles necessary for running a mining-related business.  \nThe training was supported by practical case studies and interactive discussions that encouraged peer learning and the exchange of experiences among participants. These exchanges helped identify practical solutions and led to recommendations for improving the management and performance of small-scale mining enterprises.  \nAs a result\, participants gained practical knowledge and skills to better organize\, formalize\, and sustain their mining activities. This contributes to improving the productivity and income-generating potential of artisanal and small-scale mining businesses.  \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Environmental\, Health\, and Safety Compliance Training for Sustainable Mining in Tanzania 
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator sep_color=”color-210407″ uncode_shortcode_id=”488145″ sep_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_custom_fields post_type=”tribe_venue” field_elements=”value”][vc_column_text]In Tanzania\, the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme worked with the Foundation for ASM Development (FADev) and the Mining Commission to train miners on health\, safety\, and environmental practices. Trainings took place between May and July 2025 in the mining areas of Singida\, Dodoma\, Morogoro\, and Tanga regions. Over 380 artisanal miners took part\, of whom 53% are women. \n  \nMr. Chacha Megewa (right)\, together with experts from the Mining Commission and the ACP–EU Development Minerals Programme\, delivered on-site health and safety training for artisanal and small-scale miners in Dodoma.

The results of the trainings were both immediate and impactful\, as participants gained hands-on skills in proper safety procedures\, correct use of personal protective equipment\, and basic first-aid practices. \nIn this regard\, the importance of the training extended beyond transfer of knowledge by demonstrating the importance of joint efforts between miners\, communities\, and authorities to improve mining practices by uniting the programme\, the Mining Commission and a local NGO (FADev) hence bridging the gap between policy\, enforcement and on-the-ground reality fostering trust and shared language around sustainability. \nSecond\, the deliberate inclusion of women – who often bear the highest health risks in ASM while having the least access to training – directly tackles gender inequality and empowers women as agents of change within their mining communities. Finally\, by building local capacity\, the programme seeds a self-replicating model of best practices\, where trained miners become peer educators\, enhancing the resilience and productivity of the sector long-term. \nThis initiative highlights that improving artisanal mining is not merely a technical challenge\, but a socio-economic one. It demonstrates that sustained joint efforts between miners\, communities\, and authorities are essential for transforming mining practices\, safeguarding both human dignity and the environment\, and ensuring the sector’s viability as a source of livelihood for generations to come. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
