The findings are expected to highlight Ghana’s progress in compliance and identify areas for improvement, reinforcing the country’s role as a responsible player in the global diamond trade.
This review underscores Ghana’s determination to align its mineral governance with international best practices, ensuring that the benefits of diamond production support sustainable economic growth and development.
