Habari & Makala
Tunapendekeza angalau mkutano mmoja wa kimataifa wa mashirika ya Kitaifa ya uchimbaji madini ya jamii kila mwaka. Kwa kuzingatia mapungufu ya kifedha, tunahitaji vipaumbele maeneo ya athari ya haraka na kubwa. Miaka ya awali inapaswa kulenga kuanzisha jukwaa la kidijitali, kutengeneza nyenzo za mafunzo, kuanzisha jumuiya ya mtandaoni na mipango ya usalama. Mfumo unapokua na kupata rasilimali zaidi, tunaweza kutekeleza hatua kwa hatua mipango mingine. Lengo kuu linabaki kuwa sawa: kuboresha usalama wa jumla, faida, na uendelevu wa jumuiya ya madini duniani.
Usafishaji wa Dhahabu ya Cyanide: Mwongozo wa ASGM wa Kuelewa na Kupunguza Hatari za Cyanide na Zebaki
Uchimbaji Dhahabu wa Kisanaa na Wadogo (ASGM) ni njia muhimu ya kujikimu kwa jamii nyingi. Kazi hii huleta changamoto kubwa za kiafya na kimazingira, hasa kutokana na matumizi ya vitu hatari kama sianidi na zebaki. Makala haya yanalenga kuwapa Wafanyabiashara wetu wa Dhahabu, Mafundi wa Maabara, Madaktari Wenyeji na Jumuiya zetu za Madini taarifa kamili kuhusu hatari zinazohusiana na dutu hizi na mwongozo kuhusu utunzaji salama, mikakati ya kupunguza na itifaki za matibabu ya matukio ya sumu, pamoja na baadhi ya mambo ya kuvutia. kuhusu #cyanide.
Kushirikisha Jumuiya za ASGM katika Miradi ya Kupunguza Zebaki:
Mbinu ya Kina
Muhtasari: Katika kukabiliana na ukosefu wa maendeleo ya maana katika kupunguza matumizi ya zebaki ndani ya jamii za wachimbaji dhahabu na wachimbaji wadogo wa dhahabu (ASGM) nchini Kenya, makala haya yanapendekeza orodha ya kina ya mikakati ya kushirikisha jamii hizi moja kwa moja. Kwa kuwashirikisha wadau mbalimbali, wakiwemo wachimbaji madini, familia zao, viongozi wa mitaa, Mashirika Yasiyo ya Kiserikali, na wakala wa serikali, tunalenga kukuza utamaduni wa usalama na utunzaji wa mazingira unaochangia kupunguzwa kwa muda mrefu kwa matumizi ya zebaki na hatari zinazohusiana nayo.
Ripoti ya Kulinganisha: Mazoezi ya ASM nchini Indonesia - Ushirikiano na ASM ya Kenya
Sekta ya ASM nchini Indonesia ni thabiti kabisa, ikijumuisha jumla ya wachimbaji migodi milioni 4, milioni 1.2 kati yao ni wachimbaji dhahabu. Yameenea katika majimbo 35 na zaidi ya wilaya 300, yanafanya kazi katika maeneo zaidi ya 2,000 ya uchimbaji madini. Kila mchimbaji hupata angalau gramu 0.5 za dhahabu kwa siku, na kwa takriban siku 200 za kazi kwa mwaka, wachimbaji wa dhahabu hutoa tani 120 za dhahabu kila mwaka.
