NOFO DFOP0016638-Supporting the Adoption of Mercury-Free Processing in Africa’s Sahel Q&A
Question: In the NOFO "Supporting the Adoption of Mercury-Free Processing in Africa’s Sahel", it requests the respondent propose work at four ASGM sites in Cote D'Ivoire. Are these sites that have already been identified by the Department of State, or is that the responsibility of the respondent?
Answer: It is anticipated that this project will work in parallel and coordinate with the Multistakeholder Partnership Initiative (MPSI) which is led by the World Bank and the World Gold Council. Sites will be determined in consultation with the MSPI. More generally, this project is expected to be aware of, communicate with, and potentially collaborate with other initiatives in CdI.
