Ghana is undertaking its most comprehensive mining law reforms in nearly two decades, aiming to combat illegal mining (galamsey) and ensure local communities benefit more directly from mining revenues. The new laws will shorten mining licence durations, require direct revenue-sharing with affected communities, and introduce stricter oversight of mining operations. The government has intensified its crackdown on illegal mining, arresting over 1,300 suspects and seizing hundreds of excavators and machinery. Initiatives like the Blue Water Guards and the Responsible Mining Programme are being expanded to protect water bodies and promote sustainable mining practices. These reforms reflect a broader effort to balance economic growth, environmental protection, and community welfare in Ghana's vital mining sector.
