Malawian delegation engages institutions, CSOs in Ghana’s mining sector

A Malawian delegation, led by the Ministry of Mining and UNDP Malawi, has engaged with institutions and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Ghana's mining sector. The visit, part of a Malawi-Ghana South-South Learning Exchange on Mining and Mineral Sector Development, focused on various aspects of mining governance, ASM formalisation, mineral value addition, local content, revenue management, and institutional coordination.

The delegation participated in technical sessions facilitated by representatives from the Bank of Ghana, Ghana Gold Board, and the Ghana Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (GHEITI), discussing topics such as gold market governance, responsible sourcing, and transparency and accountability in the extractive sector. Malawi's Minister of Mining, Thoko Tembo, highlighted the opportunity to examine Ghana's policy approaches and consider lessons for the development of Malawi's mining industry, while UNDP Malawi's Resident Representative, Fenella Frost, emphasized the importance of the mining sector in economic transformation and foreign-exchange generation.
