Following the workshop, a Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop on Environment, Community, Health and Safety in the Development Minerals sector (sand, granite, clay, limestone, shale, corundum and salt) was held on the 21-26 November in Kindia, Guinea.
This workshop focused on raising awareness on the environment, community, health and security challenges of the sector; enhancing knowledge sharing and good practices among the participants and strengthening the latter's management capacities. The ToT training brought together 50 participants drawn from the programme's key stakeholder groups, who further drew up plans for replication of the training to all regions of the country.
