The webinar was facilitated by David Sturmes, Value Chain Development Lead at The Impact Facility. Other speakers included Cyrus Njonde Maina, mining engineer and regional manager East Africa at The Impact Facility, who shared first-hand accounts on the difficulties of promoting alternatives to mercury among miners in East Africa, and Barbara Hendus, Program Officer Extractives & Conservation at IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN NL), who shone a light on the informal and often illicit trade of mercury and addressed questions on how mercury reaches the mining communities across Africa and Asia.
