Kudos to the Ethiopian govt and their Ministry of Mines who are 1 step closer to #formalization of their #artisanal & small-scale #mining sector today after a draft governance framework for advancing ASSM formalization pilot projects was validated by a group of key stakeholders.

#SUMM goal: support the GoE to improve resource #governance & #sustainable management of Ethiopia's #mining #sector. 1 mechanism: #ESIA training (pt 2) for 35 govt officials to suggest legal framework amndts & capacity dev needs for ESMP compliance monitoring & community dev.
