This grant is for the purpose of significantly reducing mercury use in Mali’s artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector. The project employs a multi-faceted strategy focused on education, introducing better technologies, and strengthening equipment supply chains. A crucial aspect is also developing more responsible gold supply chains. This initiative is part of a larger U.S. Government effort to work comprehensively with ASGM sectors.
