Artisanact

Local NGO that implemented the mining component of Cobalt for Development after IMPACT, as a direct implementing partner until 2024. C4D's own Lessons Learned Paper describes it as a local NGO, the basis for placing it in the DRC. Bon Pasteur Kolwezi's 2024–2028 strategic plan also names it among C4D's local partners, with GIZ, Bon Pasteur and IMPACT.
