Compendium on Best Practices in Small-Scale Mining in Africa
Small-scale mining is increasingly gaining momentum in Africa. However, it is largely practiced in rural areas by those who lack the requisite education, training, management skills, essential equipment and financial resources. Although this type of mining is far from achieving its full potential, there are indications of positive efforts by individual countries to promote the sector. The report presents examples of how the sector can be promoted to insure its positive contribution to the establishment of sustainable community life and rural economic development.
