This report contains a case-study of Post-Mining Income-Generating Environmental Rehabilitation (POMIGER)–a path-breaking initiative that combines behavior change communication, technical training, clarification of land rights, economic incentives, and environmental rehabilitation. Conceived as part of the USAID Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development (PRADD) project in the Central African Republic, POMIGER aims to address both poverty and environmental degradation by converting old mining pits into fish ponds, vegetable gardens, or fruit orchards.
