Media Coverage

360° – Verden I Udvikling (Danish magazine): Afrikas Wild West – Jagen pa det gode guld. By Anne Kidmose Jensen. December 2018 HTML

Featuring fieldwork of COUPLED PhD Anna in Tanzania.
Africa’s gold mines bring about accidents, child labor and pollution. But the continent’s small gold mines can fight poverty locally, organizations say. Take the magazine 360 ​​° into Tanzania’s new gold rush.
