JOB POSTING
Local Consultant to Monitor and Analyze the Progress of
the Sustainable Development of Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM)
Project
1. BACKGROUND
While artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is often associated with
social and environmental degradation, it is in fact recognized by many
countries and multilateral international development agencies, such as the
United Nations and World Bank, as a significant poverty relief mechanism and an
important opportunity for development. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is
an excellent mechanism for transferring wealth from the urban wealthy to the
rural poor where there are few other economic opportunities.
In Indonesia specifically, ASGM is an important income-generating activity that
is present in almost all provinces. ASGM is the primary source of livelihoods
for approximately one million men and women, while an additional five million
people derive livelihoods from secondary activities such as tools
manufacturing, agriculture, and merchants. While regulations are in place to
establish licensed formal ASGM operations in Indonesia, ASGM activities also
occur informally within the country, the sector is still largely informal;
Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry/MoEF (KLHK) and Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources/MoEMR (ESDM) have reported that there are
approximately 300,000 artisanal gold miners working at 1,000 informal sites
across the country.
The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources estimates that in 2012,
formal industry produced 66 tons of gold while informal ASGM produced between
65 to 135 tons. The informal portion of the sector has tended to thrive due to
the challenges of corruption, the underground economy (e.g. illegal mercury
trade and gold sales), and decentralized regulation. Formalization efforts face
a variety of challenges such as inconsistent regulations, overlapping
jurisdictions, corruption and governance issues, an established underground
trade of mercury and gold, decentralized regulation, and Indonesia's diffuse
and disconnected island geography.
Throughout Indonesia, mercury amalgamation has been the preferred technology
for the primary stages of the gold recovery process because it is fast acting
and easily accessible at a relatively low cost. Poor processing practices and
challenges to formalization of miners, combined with poor mining infrastructure
and technology, have led to dangerous working conditions and discharge of toxic
waste into rice paddies, rivers, and oceans in many mining regions. Rice,
plants, and fish bio-accumulate the mercury, creating great environmental and
health risks for associated communities.
In October 2013, Indonesia, with support from the UN, the World Bank, and other
international bodies, joined 146 governments, including Canada, as a signatory
to the Minamata Convention on Mercury. In September 2017, Indonesia ratified
the Minamata Convention. To achieve the Convention's commitments on ASGM,
signatory countries must conduct research to identify sustainable solutions for
how the sector can reduce, and where possible eliminate, mercury use without
negatively impacting the livelihoods of people living in ASGM communities.
Solutions are then implemented via a combination of the following avenues,
customized to the specific context of the country's ASGM activities and
distribution: changes to policy; formalization efforts; regulation measures;
delivery of education on best practices, health, and environment; improved
health services; introduction of alternative mercury-reduced and/or mercury-free
technology; and provision of alternative livelihoods where necessary.
Prior to ratifying the Convention, Indonesia confirmed the direction of its
policy on mercury. On 9 March 2017, President Joko Widodo of Indonesia presided
over a special coordinating meeting of the cabinet. A top agenda item was the
excessive use of mercury in the ASGM sector. The President was briefed on the
impact of mercury use on human health as well as the environment. Considering
the global concerns around the safety of mercury, the President issued seven
orders as positive steps toward addressing mercury use in the sector:
1. Improve the management of ASGM located inside and outside of forest
areas;
2. Stop the use of mercury in ASGM;
3. Closely monitor the use of mercury;
4. Control mercury supply and distribution in Indonesia, including
imports;
5. Educate people on the dangers of mercury use;
6. Provide alternative livelihoods to illegal miners whose mines are
closed by the government; and
7. Instruct Ministry of Health on how to provide health care for those
who have been exposed to or contaminated by mercury.
The Presidential Orders provided more direction for various ministries,
including MoEMR, MoEF, and Ministry of Health/MoH, to focus on efforts that can
be translated into legal or formal regulations for addressing both mercury use
and ASGM. On 22 April 2019, President-elect Joko Widodo elaborated on the
Presidential Orders by signing the Presidential Regulation Number 21 of 2019 on
the National Action Plan for Reduction and Abolishment of Mercury Use (PR NAP).
The PR NAP covers strategies, activities, and targets for reducing and
eliminating mercury use in key areas, one of which is on ASGM. The new
regulation also functions as clear orders for the various Ministries to meet
reduction targets and strengthen coordination between related ministries and
between national and local governments towards abolishing mercury use in
Indonesia. The PR NAP will be carried out within the period of 2018-2030 and
constitute as basic data to measure the success of Indonesia's National Action
Plan on Mercury.
The Presidential Orders and PR NAP taken collectively reflects a substantial
improvement over the earlier efforts of the GoI on mercury.
To support the Government of Indonesia in addressing the challenges described
above, Global Affairs Canada is supporting a development project called
Sustainable Development of Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) in
Indonesia. This CDN$7,377,602 million project is implemented by the Canadian
NGO Artisanal Gold Council (AGC) for six years, from 2015 until 2021.
The Project adopts a three pronged approach, presented as three supporting
conceptual pillars:
Pillar 1: aims to improve mining practices carried out by men and women in
three ASGM communities in the selected project areas in the provinces of North
Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan. Improvements are targeted at technical,
environmental, health, gender-sensitive, and business management aspects of the
artisanal mining process. The activities of this Pillar are centered on
installing three pilot mercury-free processing plants in three different ASGM
communities, along with associated training centres, which offer a concrete
convening point, a demonstration site, and a hands-on learning opportunity for
ASGM stakeholders to learn about improved practices.
Pillar 2: aims to enhance policy and strengthen government support to the ASGM
sector in Indonesia. The objectives are to increase the capacity of the
district, provincial, and central governments to implement policies related to
ASGM and to improve access of ASGM stakeholders to pre-existing government
support services in their communities.
Pillar 3: is a logical and concrete complement to the first two pillars of the
Project. It helps to better understand and then works to build legal and
transparent supply chains that bring responsible artisanal gold from the
community to the national market.
The activities of the three pillars are carried out within three Project Areas
(PAs): Tatelu Village (PA-1) in North Minahasa District (MINUT), North Sulawesi
Province (SULUT); Tobongon Village (PA-2) in East Bolaang Mongondow District
(BOLMONGTIM), North Sulawesi Province (SULUT); and Parenggean Village (PA-3) in
East Kotawaringin District (Kotawaringin Timur), Central Kalimantan Province
(KALTENG).
Project Expected Outcomes:
The Project seeks to develop models of responsible artisanal and small-scale
gold supply in three diverse mining and cultural ASGM sector settings (project
areas) in target provinces of Indonesia to demonstrate that gold can be mined
profitably and in accordance with good practices relating to legality,
environment, gender equality, and health and safety. It seeks to embed the
model institutionally by enhancing the government's ability to design a road
map for formalization of the ASGM sector at a national level and in the
provinces that are home to pilot sites. The Project also identifies the
marketing channel that would welcome the 'responsible gold' increasingly
produced through the improvement of practices. At project end, Indonesian
actors (principally mining communities and their representatives, local NGO
partners, and subnational governments) will have the capacity needed to
accelerate the formalization of the ASGM sector in the provinces of North
Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan where the project is operating.
The Project Logic Model could be found in Annex 1 of this TOR.
1. OBJECTIVE(S)
Global Affairs Canada (GAC)/Indonesia Development Program requires the services
of a Consultant to monitor and analyze the progress of the project against the
project plan and targets. The objective of the monitoring is to inform the
Program on the progress of the project by assessing its result achievements to
date, analyzing them and offering relevant recommendations to ensure the
project is meeting its intended goals and objectives.
An assessment needs to be done in accordance to the three pillars of the
project to see the detail progress of the project compared to the intended
targets by the end of the project. The Project Performance Management
Framework (Annex 2) provide a tool to structure the monitoring. A particular
interest to GAC is to see the evidence that the business model in the three
sites are viable i.e. if the artisanal and small miners using the facilities
would generate enough profit to cover their operational, production and
marketing costs. As the increase of profit is considered one of the main
incentives for miners to shift toward mercury-free practices and it is key to
ensure the continuity of the use of the facilities after the end of the project
and to ensure the sustainability of GAC's investment.
