Abstract. Illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) in South-Western Ghana has grown tremendously in the last decade and caused Abstract In Ghana, ASM continues to be an important source of livelihood for many people. However, ASM has many externalities that come with it. Traditionally ASM was a way to Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) in Ghana

Small-scale Mining, the SDGs and Human Insecurity in Ghana

Galamsey —a corrupted enunciation of ‘gather them and sell’—is a popular term used locally in Ghana to refer to illegal artisanal and small-scale mining According to recent research on the spatial distribution of mining operations in Ghana, the Western Region has the highest concentration of all mining activities in Ghana, including Chinese participation in Ghana's illegal small-scale gold mining

A Political Economy of Regulatory Policy: The Case of ‘Illegal’ Small

One main strategy to regulate the small-scale mining sector is to enforce institutions and legislative instruments.

Artisanal and small-scale mining formalization in Ghana: The

This paper identifies and examines nine factors that affect formalization of informal artisanal and small-scale mining in Ghana. Despite a series of efforts to ensure cleaner and safer production, informal artisanal and small-scale mining continues to expand with the resulting increase in environmental pollution and damage. The nine factors form Abstract. This chapter discusses small-scale mining in Ghana in the context of two intergovernmental development indicators—the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDGs) and the African Union ’s Agenda 2063 (AU2063).

Beyond the doom: Sustainable water management practices of small-scale

Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) is often implicated as a source of pollution to water systems. In this paper, we explore the water management systems of a formalised small-scale mining operator in Ghana to explicate how its operational activities and organising routines contribute to sustainable water management in practice.1. Introduction. Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) continues to grow in many resource-rich rural communities. Recent estimates underscore this growth: 40.5 million people were directly engaged in ASM in 2017, up from 30 million in 2014, 13 million in 1999 and 6 million in 1993 (IGF, 2017).With particular reference to gold production, the Socio-economic and environmental implications of Artisanal and Small

The large footprint of small-scale artisanal gold mining in Ghana

Few studies have utilized satellite data to quantify the spatial footprint of Galamsey across a large region in Ghana. A recent study by Forkuor et al. (2020) used Sentinel-1 time series to quantify changes in gold mining from 2015 to 2019 within a smaller study area of 9071 km 2.Artisanal or small-scale mining (ASM) is one of the most important economic activities in Ghana as in other developing countries. While this activity poses serious risks to the people involved and the environment as a whole, a continuation of its practice in Ghana suggests a lack of adequate appreciation of its impacts on the people Perception of the environmental, socio-economic and

Nexus between Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining and

Drawing on the DFID’s sustainable livelihood framework, this paper explores the nexus between artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and livelihood in Prestea mining region, Ghana.

The results suggest Minerals & Mining Policy of Ghana 2.0 Overview of Ghana's Minerals and Mining Sector Ghana is well endowed with substantial mineral resources, the major ones being gold, diamonds, manganese and bauxite. Gold is the predominant mineral produced in the country accounting for over 90% of all mineral revenues annually over the past two MINERALS AND MINING POLICY OF GHANA Minerals

Injury rate and risk factors among small-scale gold miners in Ghana

Background To determine the potential risk factors for injury, estimate the annual injury rate and examine the safety perceptions, and use of personal protective equipment among small-scale gold miners in Ghana. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out with 494 small-scale gold miners from four major mining districts in Ghana. A Studies show that artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) activities are often unregulated and have led to the destruction of the environment in diverse ways (Baah-Ennumh, 2010; Hilson, 2017; Hilson & Maconachie, 2020; Veiga & Morais, 2014).The problems relating to ASM such as the excessive use of dangerous chemicals, water Perception of Small-Scale Miners on Interventions to Eradicate Illegal

The Illegal Artisanal and Small-scale mining (Galamsey) ‘Menace

Traditional artisanal mining used to be the time-honoured and environmentally friendly livelihood activity of rural communities in Ghana. But under the pretext of artisanal and small-scale mining, it has been seized by the power-elites and transformed to the most environmentally and socially catastrophic industry in Ghana.Ghana legally recognizes ASM as a legitimate livelihood source with formalization blueprints for operators. However, the regulation of ASM activities in Ghana can largely be described as unsuccessful. Evidence shows that more than 85% of small-scale mining operations still occur in the informal and illegal sector of the economy Artisanal and small-scale mining formalization challenges in Ghana
