The principle goal of the project is to develop and implement an intervention model that self replicates to reduce and eventually eliminate mercury use in small scale gold mining operations, while improving health, environment and wealth of ASGM communities. Self-replication requires incentives and education. Measures of success for the intervention model will include: improvement of economic opportunities for miners and their communities, increased knowledge of health, safety, and environment, and a measured reduction in mercury use.
The project includes training and education programs using a variety of approaches including print media, demonstrations, social media, and cell phones. There are four phases to the project: (A) Preliminary Coordination; (B) Pilot Community Implementation and Training; (C) Replication to Other Communities; (D) Evaluation, Project Closure and Future Planning
