Artisanal and small-scale gold mining: Fact vs Fiction
 Organised by Solidaridad and The Impact Facility

"In discussion with Kirsten Hund (World Bank), Carla Neefs (Solidaridad), and David Sturmes (The Impact Facility), we’ll kick the webinar series off with an overview of today’s artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector. What challenges does the sector face? How widespread are the issues? Who do they affect, in which countries? And who should be tackling these issues?
For refiners, end-buyers, like jewellers and electronic companies, and (impact) investors in the global gold supply chain, this session will set the foundations for looking at how we can support a transition to a more responsible and transparent artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector."
