An initial understanding
Explain CIFTAM’s role, listen to the need and outline the support steps.
Our work
Turn procedures
into opportunities.
A programme centred on artisanal miners, connecting support, formalisation, financial inclusion and digital continuity.
One coherent programme.
Entry points to suit different needs.
Needs arise in different orders. An artisan may need information, a cooperative better document organisation, and a women’s association help with management.
CIFTAM organises these needs into a clear pathway, distinguishing information, preparation and follow-up from decisions by authorised providers.
