GoldBod has stepped up its drive to reshape Ghana’s gold sector, engaging small-scale miners in Kumasi at a stakeholder forum focused on advancing reforms and rolling out District Gold Buying Centres.
Addressing participants, CEO Sammy Gyamfi outlined both progress and challenges in the reform process, while inviting input from miners to ensure effective implementation. The initiative, he explained, is designed to strengthen transparency, curb smuggling and underpricing, and bring structured gold markets closer to mining communities.
With small-scale gold production rising sharply and contributing billions in foreign exchange earnings, the emphasis remains on protecting these gains through formalisation and collaboration. Gyamfi noted that the reforms are not only about regulation but also about building trust and inclusivity in the sector.
GoldBod’s vision is to create a more accountable, inclusive, and resilient gold industry that secures Ghana’s position as a leading player in global gold markets while safeguarding the livelihoods of small-scale miners.
