Why was a second consultation necessary?
ISEAL recommendes at least two rounds of public consultation: Following the standards established by best practices increases the credibility and legitimacy of CRAFT as a tool
In order to expand the reach of CRAFT and maximize its usefulness to the artisanal and small-scale mining sector. The increasing demand for risk-free minerals is a trend that is becoming more and more important.
To improve the code and integrate the lessons learned from the implementation of version 1.0.
