A one-day workshop aimed at educating journalists on mining governance and human rights has ended with a call to prioritise safe environmental practices.
It was organised by The Centre for Public Interest Law (CEPIL), a Civil Society Organisation (CSO), in partnership with stakeholders, including the WACAM and Oxfam International.
The workshop also focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to report effectively on human rights violations, governance issues, and environmental challenges linked to large-scale mining operations, particularly in communities affected by the Ahafo and Akyem mining projects operated by Newmont Ghana Gold Limited.
A documentary screening set the stage for discussions on land dispossession, pollution, and socio-economic hardships caused by mining.
