In Madagascar, the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI) launched a pilot program in February 2023 across five comprehensive mica supply chains spanning from mining sites to end-user brands. This pilot includes collaborative efforts between RMI and the Alliance for Responsible Mining to tailor the CRAFT Code to suit the artisanal mica sector.

In parallel, ARM will address the training and capacity-building needs of RMI and local stakeholders by designing and implementing specialized training modules related to the implementation of the CRAFT Code.

1. Adapter le Code CRAFT au secteur du mica à Madagascar légitime et reconnu par les communautés et partie prenantes
2. Former l’équipe de RMI et les parties prenantes locales sur l’application des outils, méthodologies et thématiques qu’abordent le Code CRAFT
3. Piloter l’adaptation du Code CRAFT en fonction des expériences sur les sites miniers selectionnés
4. Verfiier le processus d’application sur les sites miniers
