"A lot of youth in mining will benefit from the (Madini Kenya) Gem Centre. This is a value addition centre where the public can bring their stones to be identified, cut and polished and thus add value to the gemstones. " ~ Benson Kigo #KenyaMbele https://t.co/JbDKpUxHcF

Opening panel voices of the future: ‘Yes, the sector is poverty-driven...yes it is environmentally destructive...but, this sector [#ASM] has the potential to become the a cornerstone of rural development’. Great to be @ #ASM18 Thanks @PactWorld @DevelopmentMin #formaliseASm

[Dr. James McQuilken @J_McQuilken]

New research: From tracing responsible mineral 'supply chains' to mapping #ASM 'production networks' Greater detail of local ASM functioning can be used to produce formalisation strategies better connected to realities on the ground: https://t.co/39jw5Gu35o #OECDMinerals

Artisanal mining is tough and laborious. During the @UNDPKenya county to county photography mission in Jan 2018, we encountered miners from @taitatavetagovt @MigoriAssembly @kakamega_govt @NarokCountyGov1 who shared their challenges and aspirations. @ExtraBaraza @KenyaGovernors
