Gold Council (AGC) a not-for-profit organization based out of Victoria,

world, and in doing so, improving the global gold sector.
About the Project
Sustainable
Development of the Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) in
Indonesia is a 5-year project (2015-2019) that AGC is implementing for
Global Affairs Canada in partnership with Indonesian NGOs. The project
aims to improve incomes, health, and the environment of the vulnerable
and marginalized men and women dependent on the Artisanal and
Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) economy in proposed target areas in
Central Kalimantan and other provinces in Indonesia.
The project
improves mining, environmental and social practices for men and women
involved in the ASGM, including identifying alternatives to mercury
use. The project also supports targeted provincial governments to
better collaborate with the formal extractive sector and support the
formalization of ASGM activities through legal trade of responsible
artisanal gold and value-added products in domestic and international
markets. Activities include: (1) provide training on better practices
for men and women miners; (2) provide training to targeted government
and civil society groups on ASGM regulation and management; and (3)
establish collaborative mechanisms with other relevant initiatives
promoting responsible gold and diversification of the ASGM economy.
This initiative supports the Government of Indonesia’s implementation of
the Minamata Convention on mercury, which both Canada and Indonesia
signed in 2013.
