Artisanal miners and cooperative members: support that starts with your work, needs and plans.
07
Start with the need. Organise the response.
Artisanal miners and cooperative members are CIFTAM’s primary beneficiaries. Your work, needs and family’s future are the starting point.
Understand work-related procedures, prepare documents, manage income, plan savings and present equipment needs: support starts with practical situations.
The Centre connects your pathway with cooperatives, institutions and technical and financial partners, helping you find the right contacts and prepare your next steps.

THE ESSENTIALS
Your questions. Clear answers.
How do I present an equipment need?
Specify the equipment, its intended use, site location and maintenance constraints. This supports discussions with the Centre and suppliers.
What should I compare before choosing?
Compare technical suitability, total cost, delivery terms, warranty, upkeep and spare-part availability.
Who is the support for?
Primarily women and men working as artisanal miners, and their cooperatives. Women in mining communities, families and local actors also have a place.
MACHINERY · TOOLS · EQUIPMENT
Make assets visible. Prepare their follow-up.
Document equipment type, mineral sector, location, serial number and condition to clarify needs. Add the beneficiary, site, allocation, warranty and maintenance details.
The access pathway links the identified need, application preparation, partner assessment, and delivery, maintenance and follow-up terms.
Inspection history and clear document status help organise maintenance, interventions and continued equipment use.
