Ghana's Mining Reforms Aim to Enhance Local Economies and Accountability

The Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) has highlighted recent mining reforms in Ghana, where the government plans to overhaul mining laws. These reforms include shortening license durations, introducing direct revenue-sharing with local communities, and tying license renewals to environmental, social, and production performance. The aim is to enhance accountability and ensure that mining benefits are more visibly anchored in local economies. This initiative is part of a broader trend across Africa, where countries like Botswana are also implementing policies to strengthen their mining industries by building national participation and diversifying away from historically dominant commodities.
