Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 112
- Paragraph text
- Governments should provide frontier communities with basic services such as potable water and sanitary facilities. Governments should also provide health clinics and ensure that communities can access good-quality health services free of charge or at an affordable price. This would improve family living and health conditions and thereby diminish their expenses and their need to bring children to work with them.

Paragraph
Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 110
- Paragraph text
- Governments should provide employers with information about affordable and alternative methods by which to reduce the adverse environmental impact on water, soil and air. This would benefit the health of the children living around the mines and quarries. Governments should also provide incentives for employers who meet environmental safety standards and work with United Nations agencies such as UNEP and the Global Mercury Project which was set up by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Global Environment Facility, which already have experience in mitigating the environmental impact of gold-mining.
