We were pleased to welcome a delegation from Resolutions led by Christopher Melville and Ben MacLeod on a courtesy visit to the Centre for Extractives and Development Africa (CEDA), as part of their engagement with African institutions working at the frontlines of natural resource governance.

Resource Resolutions is an organisation whose core aim is to help reduce growing societal conflict and division around natural resources transforming tensions into mutually beneficial outcomes through dialogue and mediation. Their visit offered a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives on the increasingly complex social and political landscape surrounding resource investments across the continent.

The conversation explored areas of possible collaboration and alignment in the near future, recognising that shared approaches to conflict prevention and stakeholder engagement are essential to ensuring that natural resources truly deliver for the people and communities that live alongside them.

At CEDA, we value partnerships that strengthen our collective capacity to advance just and inclusive resource governance across Ghana and beyond.

Project Launch | Strengthening Extractives Governance in Tano North Municipality|

We are excited to announce the official kick-off of our project – "Strengthening Extractives Governance for Sustainable Mineral Development in Tano North Municipality" – funded by Africa Centre for Energy Policy.

Tano North is a newly emerging mining municipality, now hosting major mining operations. As the district navigates this critical transition, strong governance systems are essential to ensure that mineral revenues are managed transparently, inclusively, and accountably, directly benefiting its constituents.

As part of the project kick-off, the CEDA conducted a community entry exercise and held a stakeholder inception meeting on April 17, 2026, at the Tano North Municipal Assembly in Duayaw Nkwanta, Ahafo Region.

This ten-month project will work to strengthen institutional capacity, improve mineral revenue management, promote transparency and accountability, and empower communities around issues of compensation, resettlement, and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).

We sincerely thank the Chiefs and Elders of the mining catchment communities directly affected by mining activities in the district for their warm reception and their buy-in of the project.

We also acknowledge the Tano North Municipal Assembly for their support and collaboration in facilitating this engagement.

The Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas- Ghana(CSPOG) is one of the founding pillars of Ghana's extractives accountability movement and a proud organizer of the GETC Forum.

As fossil fuel dependence is challenged globally, CSPOG continues to champion community rights, revenue transparency, and a just managed decline of Ghana's oil and gas sector.
