Dr.
Yao Graham, Coordinator of the Third World Network-Africa (TWN-Africa), has called for major reforms in Ghana's mining policies to address the long-standing environmental, social, and economic challenges associated with the industry.
While acknowledging the attention on illegal small-scale mining (galamsey), Dr.
Graham highlighted the expansion of large-scale mining activities into northern Ghana and the continued focus on gold extraction as key areas that need closer scrutiny.
