Delegations from seven African nations recently visited Ghana's Gold Board (GoldBod) to study the country's innovative gold trading and regulation model. The twelve-month study commenced in September 2025, following a visit by Sierra Leone's Minister of Finance, Sheku Ahmed Fantamadi Bangura. The seven countries participating in the study include Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sudan, and Namibia.

The main focus of the discussions was how Sierra Leone could adapt Ghana's model to enhance its mineral revenue management.

During their visits, the delegations were provided with insights into GoldBod's regulatory framework and day-to-day operations by Deputy Chief Executive Officer Richard Nunekpeku. The Mozambican officials, who were part of a two-day study tour in October 2025, were particularly interested in strengthening the regulation and legal framework of precious metals, rough diamonds, and gemstones.

In January 2026, a 15-member delegation from Tanzania's Minerals Commission paid a visit to GoldBod to examine the country's gold-buying system and the regulatory regime supporting it. A separate delegation from the Central Bank of Tanzania followed suit in April 2026, focusing on Ghana's Domestic Gold Purchasing Programme. The interest of these African nations in GoldBod's approach to governance extends beyond just the seven participating countries, demonstrating the breadth of international interest.
