Child labour in ASM is harsh reality, kids as young as 10 exposed to mercury with no protection. Time to act, not deny. #EndChildLabour

Poverty, broken families, and debt traps push children into ASM. Only united action can break this cycle. @ThePunditsFolly #MiningReform

TSM protocols offer real hope for ASM in Tanzania, but they will only work if government and communities commit fully. #SustainableFuture @ThePunditsFolly

Tanzania’s ASM could shine as a model of sustainability, if children’s safety and ethical practices lead the way. #ASMReform @ThePunditsFolly

Zebaki bado ni tishio kwa afya na mazingira kupitia uchimbaji mdogo wa dhahabu. Mkataba wa Minamata ulilenga kutatua hili, lakini mianya ya sheria, utekelezaji hafifu na kutoshirikishwa kwa jamii kunadumaza mafanikio. #MinamataConvention Africa Transcribe (ATRA)

Civil society organizations are the missing link in implementing the Minamata Convention. Governments alone can’t reach miners, CSOs bring community trust and solutions. Fund them, empower them, include them. #UchimbajiMdogoTz Africa Transcribe (ATRA)

Ili kuimarisha Mkataba wa Minamata tunahitaji: 1️⃣ Marufuku kamili ya zebaki kwenye uchimbaji mdogo 2️⃣ Ufuatiliaji wa biashara ya zebaki 3️⃣ Ushirikishwaji wa jamii 4️⃣ Uwekezaji kwenye teknolojia mbadala Tuchukue hatua sasa #MinamataConvention #Uendelevu Africa Transcribe (ATRA)

Makampuni ya kimataifa yana ushawishi mkubwa katika uchimbaji na biashara ya dhahabu duniani, hali inayofanya nchi nyingi za Afrika zenye migodi kubaki kama watoaji wa malighafi bila udhibiti wa bei wala thamani ya mwisho ya rasilimali zao. #HojaYakoMezani HakiRasilimali

Eneo la fidia kati ya raia na kampuni za uchimbaji linakabiliwa na changamoto nyingi. Wakati anayepaswa kulinda maslahi ya wananchi ana dalili za kushirikiana na kampuni, hali inayoongeza changamoto ya haki na uwajibikaji. 🤭 #HojaYakoMezani

Those who usually do the work of unifying a nation are often taken for granted, and at times, considered mad, until they succeed, or at death. That is when the role such persons have played to change the political narrative of a nation would be seen.

Our teams from planetGOLD Uganda & Cote d’Ivoire projects are in Geneva this week participating in the #MinamataCOP6. As the Minamata Convention on Mercury celebrates 8 years of progress, COP-6 also offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned and opportunities to strengthen action.

Our minerals must work for us. At Africa Industrialisation Week, AMDC’s Acting Head, Tunde Arisekola, emphasized the urgent need for African countries to process minerals on the continent, especially across the steel and battery value chains. Local value addition = jobs,
