Ghana’s gold sector reforms have attracted interest from Zambia, with a high-level delegation from the southern African country engaging the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) to learn from Ghana’s approach to gold trading, regulation and value addition.
The engagement focused on Ghana’s gold governance framework, including the GoldBod’s licensing system, responsible mining initiatives, traceability mechanisms, compliance structures and strategies to increase local value from the country’s mineral resources.
The visit forms part of efforts by African countries to share experiences and strengthen systems for managing mineral resources in a more transparent and sustainable manner.
GoldBod said the discussions provided an opportunity to showcase Ghana’s institutional model and the reforms being implemented to improve accountability and maximise the benefits derived from gold.
As Zambia continues to develop its gold industry, the exchange highlights the growing importance of collaboration among African countries in building competitive and resilient mineral sectors.
