Partner With MHN
No single organisation can address the occupational-health and safety challenges of artisanal mining alone. MHN builds focused partnerships that connect cooperative knowledge with technical expertise, public mandates, research capability and responsible funding.
MHN welcomes collaboration with a wide range of organisations and individuals committed to practical prevention in artisanal and small-scale mining.
Mining cooperatives and miner organisations
County and national public institutions
Occupational hygienists and occupational-health practitioners
Mining, structural and geotechnical engineers
Universities and research institutions
Health facilities and tuberculosis, HIV and respiratory-health programmes
Environmental-health and responsible-mining organisations
Foundations, development partners and responsible companies
Five pathways through which organisations and individuals can contribute to safer artisanal mining.
Support cooperative training, site assessment, implementation of practical controls and follow-up.
Contribute qualified expertise in occupational hygiene, mine engineering, dust control, environmental health, worker health, research or data systems.
Collaborate on evidence synthesis, tool development, ethical field research, control evaluation and publication.
Provide restricted programme funding, flexible institutional support, measurement capability or appropriate equipment tied to an agreed implementation and accountability plan.
Help translate cooperative and site-level learning into county and national systems, guidance and investment priorities.
MHN partnerships should strengthen local ownership, avoid duplicating existing work, prioritise primary prevention, respect regulatory mandates, protect participant data and leave practical capacity within participating cooperatives.
Understand the problem, contribution and intended value.
Confirmation of organisational fit.
Defining roles, outputs, funding, safeguards and communication permissions.
Agreed monitoring and decision points.
Learning and responsible public communication.
