🌍 Sustainable Mining Is Not Optional — It’s Urgent!

Stakeholders across northern Ghana are calling for responsible and sustainable mining practices that protect livelihoods, food security, and the future of our children.

At a two-day workshop in Bolgatanga, organised by TAMA Foundation Universal under the NaRAING Project, community leaders, civil society organisations, and government institutions strengthened their capacity to monitor, document, and report mining infractions.

Mining must complement agriculture, not destroy it. With stronger enforcement, transparency, and community participation, mining can truly benefit host communities.

New research calls for coordinated, locally grounded solutions to persistent herder–farmer conflicts in Ghana.

TAMA Foundation Universal, under the ASNRM initiative with support from STAR Ghana Foundation, convened stakeholders in Tamale to validate a National-Level Desk Review on herder–farmer tensions across the country.

The study reveals a rising trend in both the frequency and severity of these conflicts, driven by pressure on land resources, migration patterns, and weak enforcement of existing frameworks. Hotspot districts include Bawku West, Yendi, Krachi East, Kintampo North, Atebubu-Amantin, and Nkwanta South.

Key recommendations include:
✔ Strengthening community-based land governance systems
✔ Enhancing coordination between national, regional, and local agencies
✔ Revitalising community-level enforcement and dispute resolution mechanisms
✔ Establishing early warning systems to prevent escalation
✔ Exploring practical options such as ranching, grazing reserves, and better regulation of transhumance

Stakeholders—including traditional authorities, civil society, security agencies, and the media—also stressed the need for dialogue-driven, community-led solutions rather than violent responses.

At TAMA Foundation, we remain committed to evidence-based peacebuilding, natural resource governance, and empowering communities to manage shared resources sustainably.
