Description
Organised by: the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)
Interpretation in Spanish and English will be provided
Despite its actual and potential contributions to local sustainable development, Honduras’ artisanal and small-scale mining sector remains largely unrecognized and lacking in support. Since the start of 2020 the Honduras: Land of Shining Gold* project has been working to support the implementation of the EU Regulation on Conflict Minerals by fostering responsible mining practices and the creation of supply chains for two ASM communities in this conflict-affected Central American country. This session will share perspectives and lessons learned from miners, Honduran government officials and companies to shed light on the country’s ASM potential and its key challenges, at a time of major political change. This session is hosted by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).
