The Impact Facility
Working capital to scale the Lake Victoria Gold Programme, a sustainable finance initiative in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to transform the prospects of artisanal & smallscale mining (ASM) through access to equipment, maintenance and expertise. ASM is a neglected industry, second only to agriculture in importance for jobs. The Facility aims to improve productivity, worker safety, and environmental practices, notably towards the Minamata Convention on eradicating mercury pollution.
