Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the planetGOLD programme works to make small-scale gold mining safer, cleaner, and more profitable from mine to market—by closing the financing gap, supporting formalization, and connecting miners with mercury-free technology and formal markets.
The 2024-2025 Annual Progress Report provides an overview of the progress made in these four key programmatic areas, and in other aspects of the programme including mainstreaming gender equality along with awareness raising and communication outreach. The report includes data from the national projects and the global coordination project.
