AMDC participates in ASM multi-stakeholder dialogue

Abstract

The African Minerals Development Center (AMDC) participated in the Tanzania ASM Action Dialogue organized by the Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). AMDC was a strategic collaborator with IIED and was among the key stakeholders invited in the Geita event. AMDC’s role was to engage with IIED on the way forward in Tanzania’s CMV processes with regards to ASM. It also allowed opportunities for collaboration on similar processes in countries requesting AMDC multi-lateral support in improving the ASM sector. The dialogue answered key questions with discussions on the following themes: access to land and licenses; access to finance; access to technology and equipment; access to market; ASM and linked business development and scale up; and finally empowering women in and around ASM.
