The Tierra Dorada Activity aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote biodiversity conservation and support licit livelihoods through the development and support of socially and environmentally responsible artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) activities and alternative sustainable economic opportunities. Responsible ASM[1] and alternative sustainable economic opportunities supported by this Activity will also advance USAID’s efforts to strengthen governance, expand licit livelihood opportunities, and promote more competitive, sustainable, and licit economies in support of USAID/Colombia’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS).

There is a strong focus on stakeholder engagement, involving governments and the affected communities” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsible_mining#cite_note-1; citing: Bice, S. (2016); Broad, R.
