Electrochem Ghana Limited has allocated 1,000 acres of land to seven pressure groups in Ada to engage in their mining scheme, in addition to another 1,000 acres for a community planning programme. This allocation is part of the company's recently launched out-growers scheme, which aims to train community members and other bodies who mine in the area to do so within the confines of the law to protect the environment. Under the scheme, the groups are allocated a portion of land each will undergo training and supervision to engage in their mining activities while protecting the environment. The groups include the Ada Youth Forum East, Ada Youth Forum West, Songor Salt Producers Association, Ada Community Chiefs Association, and Tekpebiavwe Youth Group, among others. The Chief Executive Officer of Electrochem, Abdul Razak Adam, stated, "It is the vision of Electrochem Ghana to position Ghana as a dominant player in the global chloroalkyl industry. "We rise once again to meet the demand of the community, having extensively engaged our host communities, their representatives, the Ada Traditional Council, the opinion leaders, and recently with our parliamentarians." He added, "Through this scheme, community members will have the opportunity as identified groups to put resources and knowledge together to establish themselves as registered businesses. "We will train them for responsible mining, business management, and secondary entrepreneurship.
