00:11 Mining better together

00:13 means overcoming poverty.

00:16 Together.

00:18 Coming

00:19 together as cooperative,

00:21 as mining associations

00:23 and speaking with one boss,

00:25 as we speak with one boy,

00:27 we knowledge exchange among ourselves

00:30 and do our mining

00:32 better.

00:33 To me,

00:34 mining better together means securing business and human rights

00:38 through the labor institutions

00:40 across the supply chain in the artisanal small scale mining.

00:44 For me.

00:46 Mine better together means

00:47 working with all stakeholders

00:50 to formalize

00:51 and to give support

00:53 for artisanal miners.

00:55 For me,

00:56 mining data

00:57 means

00:58 the government,

00:59 the communities,

01:00 and the artisanal and small scale miners coming together.

01:03 To extract minerals sustainably while safeguarding the environment

01:09 and empowering

01:10 marginalized communities.

01:12 Statistics

01:14 have shown

01:15 that

01:16 contribution of small scale mining

01:18 in Tanzania

01:19 has increased from

01:21 less than 10% in 2015

01:25 to 40% in the year 2023.

01:29 Besides amendment of the Mine

01:32 Act,

01:33 other factors contribute to this performance

01:37 is the establishment of a mineral market system

01:41 in the country.

01:42 As of today,

01:44 there are 43 mineral markets

01:46 and 102

01:49 buying centers across

01:51 the country.

01:52 For

01:52 me,

01:53 Mine Better Together is embarrassing collaboration among the government,

01:58 mining company,

01:59 community,

02:00 and other stakeholders,

02:01 including women and marginalized school to promote ethical,

02:05 sustainable,

02:06 and socially responsible mining practices.

02:09 Mine better.

02:13 Line to believe me.

02:15 To me,

02:17 It symbolizes

02:19 the collective responsibility of governments,

02:23 communities.

02:24 In the private sector

02:26 to foster collaboration.

02:29 Inclusivity

02:31 and sustainability in the mining sector,

02:34 it emphasizes

02:37 the need

02:38 for shared benefits

02:40 and a commitment to minimizing

02:43 the social and environmental challenges

02:46 often associated with mining.

02:54 I would

02:55 look at the environment.

02:57 I would change the way the environment is looked after.

03:01 Repurpose repurposing the land,

03:04 rehabilitating the land

03:06 into a more sustainable way.

03:09 Find projects that are sustainable

03:11 while rehabilitating or doing a sustainable project

03:15 like avocado projects,

03:17 like um having cash crops,

03:20 um,

03:21 doing tomatoes,

03:22 doing vegetables

03:24 from the places that would have rehabilitated.

03:27 So that is

03:28 one of the ways I would do to change that to do some more coal mining.

03:32 One thing which can improve the ASM sector

03:35 is securing the identity of the workers in ASM

03:39 through the institutions like the trade unions.

03:42 Important

03:44 to focus on women's issues,

03:46 to enhance value creation

03:49 in mining activities.

03:50 And

03:51 to promote the protection

03:53 of human rights.

03:55 What is pivotal to small scale mining for me

03:58 is that it allows the communities to

04:01 extract geological deposits which are uneconomical for large

04:06 mining powerhouses,

04:08 thereby providing much

04:09 needed revenue

04:11 in the country.

04:11 For example,

04:12 in my country,

04:13 gold mining.

04:14 Accounts for 12% of the gross domestic product.

04:19 Let us develop small scale mining subsector

04:22 by improving their production efficiency and markets

04:26 in order to earn more

04:28 from the small size mineral deposits

04:31 that cannot be developed by large scale mining investors

04:35 to truly mine better together.

04:39 We must watch,

04:40 prioritize formalization efforts,

04:43 capacity building.

04:45 And

04:46 access

04:47 to technology to transform

04:49 artisanal small scale mining

04:52 into a driver of sustainable

04:56 development.

04:57 What really stands for me about artisanal and small scale mining is it promotes,

05:01 it provides livelihood to millions and millions of people,

05:06 particularly in developing countries,

05:08 to reduce poverty and unemployment.

Mining better together means overcoming poverty. Together. Coming together as cooperative, as mining associations and speaking with one boss, as we speak with one boy, we knowledge exchange among ourselves and do our mining better.
