ASM Trustees 18 Sep , 2024

The Impact Facility, a global non-profit dedicated to empowering mining communities, is expanding its Board of Trustees. We are seeking up to three new trustees to support our mission of fostering sustainable, just economies in mineral-rich communities across Africa. Our current initiatives include the Fair Cobalt Alliance in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Lake Victoria 2030 gold programme in Kenya and Tanzania, which drive positive change by improving safety, productivity, and economic resilience among artisanal and small-scale miners.
