Recognizing that the ASGM sector is closely linked to complex economic, social and environmental issues, the Convention allows flexible, country-specific solutions through the development of NAP to reduce and where feasible eliminate mercury use in the ASGM sector. Till date, 35 countries have embarked on the development of a NAP. Several of them have already completed or are about to endorse and submit their NAP to the Secretariat of the Minamata Convention.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe side event will present the global status and progress made on the NAP development. It will highlight the challenges that national teams have encountered during such process and discuss possible solutions to overcome them, including with respect to the future NAP implementation. The event will be organized around key issues and strategies of NAPs, including for example: i) developing a national overview of the ASGM sector, ii) developing formalization strategies, iii) developing public health strategy, and\/or iv) managing mercury trade regionally. Further, it will feature a discussion on paving the road towards implementation, including with respect to mobilizing financial resources, leveraging political will and inter-ministerial coordination. The audience will have an opportunity to share their experiences and questions through an online polling tool.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n          \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022description\u0022\u003E\n          \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-sideevent-description field--type-text-long field--label-above\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field__label\u0022\u003EDescription\u003C\/div\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field__item\u0022\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOverall objective\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;of the event is to share and discuss the progress made and draw lessons from the development of the NAPs so far.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETarget audience:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EGovernmental representatives from countries with ASGM, civil society stakeholders, IGOs\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EExpected speakers:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Col\u003E\n\t\u003Cli\u003EOpening remarks and presentation of the global progress\n\t\u003Cul\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003ERocio Fernandez Garcia, UNIDO\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003EMalgorzata Stylo, UNEP\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\u003Cli\u003ESharing national experience and lessons learned\n\t\u003Cul\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003EUganda\u003Cbr\u003E\n\t\t- Arnold Waiswa Ayazika; Director Environment Monitoring and Compliance; National Environment Management Authority\u003Cbr\u003E\n\t\t- Anne Nakafeero, National Environment Management Authority\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003EEcuador\u003Cbr\u003E\n\t\t- Berenice Alexandra Quiroz Yanez, Minamata focal point\u003Cbr\u003E\n\t\t- Jos\u00e9 Antonio Piedra Montoya, National NAP Project Coordinado\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003EEllen Rosskam, WHO\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cli\u003EMilene Pacheco, Artisanal Gold Council\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\t\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ol\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EPresentation:\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/mercuryconvention.org\/Portals\/11\/documents\/meetings\/COP3\/SE\/Rosskam_WHO.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EAddressing health when developing national action plans on ASGM under the Minamata Convention on Mercury\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EKeywords: ASGM, national implementation\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n          \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022location field--label-inline clearfix\u0022\u003E\n          \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field__label\u0022\u003ELocation\u003C\/div\u003E\n          \n            \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field--name-field-virtual field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n          \n            \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field--name-field-venue field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item\u0022\u003ERoom 15\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022category field--label-inline clearfix\u0022\u003E\n          \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field__label\u0022\u003ECategory\u003C\/div\u003E\n          \n            \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field--name-field-category field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item\u0022\u003ESpecial Event\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n            \u003C\/div\u003E\n      \u003C\/div\u003E\n","dialogOptions":{"height":600,"width":"auto","dialogClass":"no-titlebar","modal":true,"title":"","classes":{"ui-dialog":"no-titlebar"}}}]
