The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is preparing to launch a comprehensive Artisanal and Small-scale Mining Formalisation and Financing Support Programme in Ghana starting in 2027. This initiative aims to bolster the productivity of small-scale mining operations across Ghana. A core objective of the program is job creation within the mining sector. GoldBod also intends to mitigate the environmental consequences associated with mining activities in Ghana. The program will offer financial support to miners, promoting responsible and sustainable practices. This move reflects a commitment to developing the Ghanaian mining industry while addressing ecological concerns. The programme hopes to formalize operations and provide a pathway for responsible gold production in Ghana.
