Embassy of Spain in Ghana

🇪🇸⛏️🇬🇭 Following the regional discussions held in Kumasi and Takoradi, the Embassy of Spain in Ghana has given its support to the national Dialogue Workshop on the Safety and Security Ecosystem of Illegal Mining in Ghana, organised by The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Accra Ghana in Accra last week.

These workshops have brought together important stakeholders to discuss the drivers and consequences of illegal mining across Ghana 📣, while creating an inclusive space for dialogue and community-driven approaches to security.

And, why does this matter to Spain? 🤔 For us, cooperation and security go hand in hand, and supporting efforts to address illegal mining is an important contribution to broader stability in the Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea 🤝. Spain and Ghana are proud to work together towards these shared goals, promoting peace, institutional resilience and sustainable development.

We thank the KAPITC for its strong commitment to this cause and hope this initiative will contribute to Ghana’s already existing efforts in the fight against galamsey.

We also had the chance to meet with the Regional Minister and visit the Ghana Immigration Service Migration Information Centre in Tamale, funded by Spain.
