GoldBods Purpose and Establishment Goals Explained
Politics
The Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Gold for Reforms (G4R) programme, although a good policy, faced significant challenges in its implementation from 2022 to 2024.
According to sources, the lack of a clear legal regime and the absence of centralised market regulation for the ASM gold trade sector, fueled leakages and hampered the attainment of programme goals.
In response to these challenges, the GoldBod was established by the NDC/Mahama government in 2025 to reform the ASM gold trade sector through centralised trading and market regulation.
This move has been a game-changer in the ASM gold trade sector, as it has helped to optimise national benefits.
