The case studies have been undertaken in India, and other parts of South Asia, in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, China and the Philippines by different people from the network. The case studies can be found here.
Each of the local case studies focuses on interventions which aim to:
- bring forth locally-based agency in promoting sustainability of livelihoods
- resolve a specific problem affecting the livelihoods of small-scale miners, their families or communities; and
- to achieve measurable progress towards one or more of the Millennium Development Goals (see Appendix) within a specific local context
- involves a partnership between local communities and one or more of:
- government agencies;
- civil society organizations;
- large-scale mining companies; and
- have a reasonable chance of being replicated in different countries of the region, and therefore be worthy of dissemination to a wider regional audience.
