African governments leave mining vision in the cold
African governments have relegated the implementation of the African Mining Vision (AMV) to the back burner after it was unanimously adopted in 2009 by African Heads of State. The ECOWAS Mineral Development Policy (EMDP), a related document, has also suffered a similar fate. The AMV, according to experts, is the most ambitious national, sub regional and continental mining reform framework that has been developed in Africa in recent years.
Accra, Sept. 27. GNA Vice-President Kwesi Amissah- Arthur on Thursday said Ghana has instituted various measures to strengthen its public financial management systems as a way of finding long term solutions to the problem of weak institutional capacities and government ineffectiveness.
