🧵@planetgold.org Uganda is supported by @thegef.bsky.social, led by @unep.org, executed by @impacttransform.org in partnership with Uganda’s National Environment Management Authority and the country’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development under the Department of Mines. #MakeMercuryHistory

🧵The assessment looks at:
▪️ How men and women engage in mining
▪️ Access to mercury-free technology
▪️ Gender-specific equipment needs
▪️ Barriers to women’s participation
These insights will inform how the project supports more inclusive, practical, and effective approaches in #ASGM.

In Uganda, the @planetgold.org team and the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development are working together to understand how gender influences the shift to mercury-free gold mining.🧵

The planetGOLD Côte d’Ivoire team has begun a sensitization campaign on the harms of mercury in artisanal gold mining. Kicking off in the northeast: over 10 days, the team visited 6 communities, reaching 600 people! #MakeMercuryHistory
