Governmental organisations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, on behalf of the government of the Netherlands The Parties acknowledge the positive contribution of RLG Europe B.V. and Stichting Xxx Xxxxxxxx (Fairtrade) to this Agreement and anticipate their further involvement in the future. Xxxxx XXX: Joint forces to tackle child labour – from gold mines to the electronics supply chain Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is a challenging sector when it comes to working conditions and child labour. About half of the people involved in Artisanal and Small- scale Mining (ASM) extract gold, generating 12 to 15 percent of total worldwide gold production.

The parties agreed to join forces and develop activities for at least two years, with the aim of tackling child labour in Uganda by working closely with mining communities and connecting more responsible gold to the supply chains of Philips and Fairphone. The reasoning underlying the goals of the consortium is that if ASM communities are more aware of the negative impact of child labour and support children receiving good quality education, and if ASM miners can generate sustainable income with safe and efficient mining practices, and if supply chain actors provide market access for responsibly mined ASM gold in their supply chain, then child labour in ASM communities in Busia, Uganda, will be reduced. During the collaboration, activities of the parties will aim to: ‑ Prevent and reduce all forms of child labour through the implementation of Child Labour Free Zones, involving all stakeholders within the area, includi...
