Description
The findings of the study and information on how small-scale miners evolved from being “ninja” miners into responsible artisanal miners, how their livelihoods improved, their success stories and the lessons that were learnt, and how they became organised into NGOs in order to protect their common interests. Also, stories about the formalisation process for the miners, how they were able to secure their employment and increase their income, and how they were eventually able to contribute to local economic development.
