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:Eco-Brick Training for Young Women and Internally Displaced People in Cameroon
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 Cameroon\, the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme conducted training on low-carbon materials and eco-construction\, in partnership with the University of Dschang\, from 29 September to 5 October 2025. \nThe construction with production of stabilized earth bricks (SEB) is an environmentally-friendly alternative to the use of fired bricks\, by utilizing locally mined minerals. This training provides an opportunity for communities in Cameroon to create jobs and improve their livelihoods\, particularly in the context of artisanal exploitation of Development Minerals in Cameroon. \nTrainees construct a demonstration structure using stabilized earth bricks (SEB) on the University of Dschang campus during the ACP–EU Development Minerals Programme’s practical session on eco-construction.                                                                                                                                                                                      Photo credit: UNDP Cameroon\nFor 7 days\, thirty-three young women\, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and members of the host communities\, learned and applied new skills in identification and transformation of locally available minerals\, such as laterite and clay. They were able to apply their new skill by realizing a demonstration SEB eco-construction in the University of Dschang campus. \nBy gaining these new skills\, the participants can now help the production of stabilized earth bricks (SEB) and rebuild their communities after conflict\, while also supporting local\, sustainable\, and inclusive economic development that makes use of recyclable and locally available resources.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-438232″ type=”carousel” medias=”152499\,152534\,152542\,152533\,152532\,152541\,152543\,152531\,152538\,152535\,152544\,152547\,152537\,152536\,152539\,152540\,152546″ carousel_lg=”5″ carousel_md=”3″ carousel_sm=”1″ gutter_size=”2″ media_items=”media|lightbox|original” carousel_v_align=”middle” carousel_interval=”0″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ carousel_nav=”yes” carousel_nav_mobile=”yes” carousel_dots=”yes” stage_padding=”0″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_image_anim=”no” single_h_align=”center” single_padding=”2″ single_icon=”fa fa-plus2″ single_border=”yes” lbox_gallery_arrows_bg=”semi-transparent” lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_social=”yes” lbox_deep=”yes” lbox_no_tmb=”yes” no_double_tap=”yes” items=”e30=” uncode_shortcode_id=”129428″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
