Current donors and allies
In the Alliance for Responsible Mining we are constantly building collaborative relationships with a diverse array of allies from around the world in order to support and generate positive and lasting change in the ASM sector.
We are proud to have worked with a wide-variety of world-renowned organizations from different geographic areas over the past few years.
These collaborations have laid the groundwork for the projects we have undertaken with ASM miners and their communities. These relationships have also given us a valuable insight into how we can work with various partners and provide vital support to the ASM sector.
