The Swiss Better Gold Fund (SBGF) transforms  the SBG premium into tangible projects that generate social and environmental impact for our partner mines and their communities. 

To ensure it continues fulfilling its objectives, the Fund underwent an external evaluation this year which analysed its relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.  

The evaluation confirmed the Fund’s role in channeling funds into projects that generate positive impact within the supply chain. It offered recommendations, including further aligning the Fund with SBG’s technical assistance, clarifying project eligibility and strengthening monitoring and evaluation practices.

The SBGF team has developed a work plan to implement these recommendations, strengthening the Fund as a driver for social and environmental impact.
