Programme Clusters
At Africa Transcribe Enterprises, we’re reshaping Africa’s extractive sector through six transformative programme clusters that uplift Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) communities. By uniting ASM miners, medium/large-scale mining companies, governments, and communities, we drive sustainable development, innovative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and robust Local Content solutions. Our evidence-based approach ensures impactful, equitable outcomes.
- Resourcing ASM
- Promotion of Best Practices in ASM

Research for ASM Advancement
Powering progress with cutting-edge research, we analyze ASM trends, innovate solutions, and inform policies. Partnering with stakeholders, our evidence-based insights drive sustainable practices, formalization, and equitable growth, ensuring ASM’s transformative impact on Africa’s mining sector is grounded in robust data.
Resourcing ASM
Unlocking ASM’s potential through partnerships with medium/large-scale miners, we provide cutting-edge equipment, shared processing hubs, and geological data to enhance productivity. Tailored training equips miners with skills for market integration, ensuring Local Content compliance and fostering sustainable economic growth in mining communities across Africa.
Promotion of Best Practices in ASM
Elevating ASM sustainability, we collaborate with miners to deliver eco-conscious training and globally recognized certifications like Fairmined. Co-funded community projects, such as schools and clinics, promote responsible mining. Advocacy for industry standards ensures lasting environmental and social impact in ASM operations.
- OHS Training: Deliver practical occupational health and safety workshops to minimize risks and enhance miner well-being.
- Mercury Awareness: Educate on health and environmental dangers of mercury in ASGM, promoting safer alternatives.
- Sustainability Initiatives: Support eco-friendly mining technologies and reforestation to restore ecosystems.
AMV Clubs Initiative
Driving inclusive governance, our Africa Mining Vision-aligned clubs unite stakeholders for dynamic dialogues. We advocate policies integrating ASM, empower women and youth through targeted initiatives, and showcase successes at regional summits, fostering collaboration for equitable, sustainable mineral resource management across Africa.
- Establish AMV Ambassadors Programme to train passionate advocates who promote ethical, sustainable practices in artisanal and small-scale mining.
