By Ishmeal

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has begun community stakeholder engagements to complement its ongoing enforcement operations across Ghana.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening cooperation between enforcement officials and local communities in the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

Through the engagements, NAIMOS seeks to encourage community participation, improve public awareness and build stronger relationships with stakeholders to support efforts to address illegal mining activities.

The community engagements are expected to complement ongoing enforcement measures by promoting cooperation and encouraging residents to support efforts to protect Ghana’s water bodies, forests and other natural resources.
