In this poignant address, Kwaku Afari Esq., Technical Director for the Wassa Association of Communities Affected by Mining (WACAM), provides a ground-level view of the devastating consequences of "Galamsey" (illegal small-scale mining).
This presentation shifts the focus from national policy to the direct, daily struggles faced by local communities near mining sites.
Key Issues Explored:
The environmental destruction leading to livelihood loss (e.g., farming and fishing).
The severe socio-economic impacts including displacement, health crises, and loss of social cohesion.
The urgent need for effective mechanisms to protect and compensate communities affected by illegal mining.
This essential session was part of the High-Level National Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue aimed at finding Solutions to the Galamsey Crisis in Ghana and Mobilising Citizens Consensus.
Presented by: Kwaku Afari Esq. Technical Director, Wassa Association of Communities Affected by Mining (WACAM)
