Global Mercury Project  (GMP) – UNIDO/UNDP/GEF

•From the GMP Main Page: “The Global Mercury Project began in 2002 with a vision to demonstrate ways of overcoming barriers to the adoption of practices that will limit mercury contamination of international waters from artisanal and small-scale gold mining. The GMP aims to introduce cleaner technologies, train miners, develop regulatory capacities within national and regional governments, conduct environmental and health assessments and build capacity within participating countries to continue monitoring Hg pollution after the project finishes. This website constitutes the amalgamation of previous GMP sites hosted in various locations on the internet. Updates and information from members and affiliates of the project are encouraged. . .”
