Ghana is undertaking its most significant mining law reforms in nearly two decades, aiming to shorten mining licence durations and ensure direct revenue-sharing with local communities. The government is also intensifying its fight against illegal mining (galamsey), with over 1,300 arrests, hundreds of excavators seized, and the deployment of thousands of Blue Water Guards to protect rivers and enforce regulations. These reforms seek to balance investment, community benefits, and environmental protection, while addressing lawlessness in the sector. The government has rejected calls for a state of emergency, instead focusing on legislative and policy changes, increased enforcement, and community engagement. The new measures are expected to boost local ownership, improve accountability, and curb environmental degradation.
