The Government of Ghana is set to launch the Ahanta West-Mpohor-Fiase responsible cooperative mining initiative, with Anwonakrom identified in the announcement.
The programme is expected to provide a framework for organised cooperative mining, enabling participating communities to pursue lawful mining activities.
The initiative is intended to promote environmental protection, sustainable livelihoods and responsible management of mineral resources.
Community participation is a central part of the proposed approach to addressing illegal mining and its effects on the environment.
