In other news, Accra has seen the launch of a £3.9 million initiative to strengthen Ghana’s fight against illegal mining.
The “UK-Ghana Gold Mining Programme” is the name of the joint project between the governments of Ghana and the United Kingdom.
The initiative, which will be put into action in the Ashanti, Savannah, and Western Regions, aims to eradicate illegalities connected to the small-scale mining industry by fostering community resilience, encouraging regulatory reform, and aiding law enforcement.
Samuel A. Jinapor, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, welcomed the program and thanked the UK government for its support, saying it would help the government’s efforts to stop illegal mining.
The National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme (NAELP), the Community Mining Schemes, and other law enforcement measures, according to him, would complement this initiative in the fight against illegal mining.
He guaranteed that the ministry was ready to collaborate productively with the UK team to achieve the program’s goals.
