Welcome to EMA Ecological Mining Association
We, the EMA (Ecological Mining Association), help miners and their
women and children in The Gambia and all around the world who are
suffering from environmentally damaging operations and poor working
conditions in the mining industry by transforming mines into safe, efficient,
ecological and sustainable operations, to stop negative impact on people and
destruction of nature. Our goal is to enable people to lead safer, healthier and
more prosperous lives.

Mission and Vision Statements:
Mission: To improve the livelihoods and well-being of artisanal and small-scale mining communities worldwide
through sustainable, ecological and more efficient practices. We advise governments and industry on policy,
solutions, national action plans, and institutional capacity for the transformation of the Artisanal Mining Sector. We
mitigate health and environmental issues through education, improved processes, best practices, and capacity
building.
Vision: A formalized, ecological, sustainable, and socially responsible Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Sector
that supplies Eco Commodities to markets, attracts socially responsible investors and buyers, and encourages
ethical consumer behaviors. A Sector universally recognized as a first-rate mechanism of transfer of wealth to
those who are challenged by poverty and marginalization.
