Honestly, this is exactly the kind of approach I wish more countries would take!

Ghana’s new mining reforms seem like a solid attempt to balance economic growth with real benefits for local communities and environmental protection. It’s good to see the government cracking down on illegal mining while also recognizing that responsible mining can actually help people if it’s managed right. Shortening licence durations and ensuring direct revenue-sharing with locals are steps in the right direction for social justice and reducing inequality. I just hope they keep up the enforcement and make sure the new rules don’t get watered down by big mining interests!
