Mercury use in ASGM reduced at pilot sites (Percentage); e. Exposure to uPOPs pollution from open burning of hazardous waste including e-waste reduced at pilot sites (Percentage); f. Stakeholder outreach events completed (Number). 17. The following intermediate indicators are proposed, disaggregated by country: Component 1 a. E-waste management and mercury use benchmarked in participating countries (volume/Mt) through the regional platform (Yes/No); b.
