Gender inclusivity in small-scale mining: livelihood needs assessment
19 May 2020
About 51% of workers in the small-scale gold mining sector in Ghana are women, yet they are disadvantaged and excluded from the potentially lucrative and poverty-alleviating opportunities that small-scale mining could offer.

The report offers a wide range of mining and non-mining related opportunities that have the potential of improving the livelihoods of women living in small-scale gold mining communities in Ghana, once properly harnessed.
