ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme

Names: Akol Jonah, Kalenda Abigail and Okiror Isaac

Title of RWP: Providing practical solutions to the occupational health and safety challenges facing Artisanal and small scale Miners (ASMs) in Bukedea district. 

Brief Description: The project targets men, women and the youth (both boys and girls) miners working in three stone quarries in Bukedea district and seeks to empower them to be able to practically deal with challenges related to Occupational Health and Safety. 

The project therefore aims at promoting awareness not only on health and safety at the work place (quarry sites), but also on cross cutting concerns such as environmental management, Gender and HIV/AIDS. The target project beneficiaries will therefore include the miners on site and the surrounding communities. Empowerment of the above beneficiaries will be through sensitization, training and follow ups to monitor the adoption of the good practises.
