Not all MSMEs are created equal – lessons from a recent evaluation -
A gold mine of information: lessons from early GEF efforts to reduce mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold miningIn 2012, GEF began pilot projects in three diverse landscapes—Burkina Faso and Senegal, Ecuador and Peru and the Philippines. Each project aimed to test how well the GEF could introduce and promote take up of non-mercury gold processing equipment in mining communities, leading to reductions in mercury use.
