Today we are proud to release @CIRDI_ICIRD's "Year in Review", highlighting the Institute's biggest achievements and initiatives from 2019-2020. We invite you to dive into this snapshot of our collective pursuits as an Institute at @UBC over the past year: bit.ly/32XbLh8
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.
#DELVEreport launched!📣 Check out CIRDI's profile on the #SUMM Ethiopia project and our case, co-authored with YTS Indonesia, on access to finance enabling gender equity among Indonesian miners. Download➡️bit.ly/3eWhppE @PactWorld
Thanks to @amarnijhawan, Priya Bala-Miller and @RahelGetachew2 for their brilliant input. Also to out co-authors on the Indonesia case study, Bardolf Paul and Witni Vovia at YTS.
Featuring 22 case studies - including 2 co-authored by CIRDI - the #DELVEreport explores ASM's contribution to #SDG8 and #decentwork. Join us, @WBG_Energy, @PactWorld & @sbsatsurrey for the launch of the 2020 State of the ASM Sector Report! Register at bit.ly/3xGNs5N
A critical part of CIRDI's work on SUMM Ethiopia - building capacity to assess the enviro & social impacts of the extractives sector. Thrilled to work with @IGFMining & their ESIA Diagnostic Tool & @EIA_NCEA to deliver a virtual gap analysis wrksp to Ethiopian govt officials.
