Mining and Community Development in Ghana
註釋Over the last two-and-a-half decades, many corporations are beginning to re-conceptualize their roles to include poverty reduction in developing regions. This change is particularly very prominent in the mining sector which, in response to growing public scrutiny, appears to have decisively embraced the idea of community development (CD) in which mining corporations both accept responsibility for poverty reduction and lead coordinated processes towards improving the welfare of rural communities within their operational jurisdictions. This study presents a comprehensive and systematic examination of the change towards CD within Ghanas mining industry focusing on a case study of three multinational gold mining companies. While focusing on the extent of change, the study also pays detailed attention to CD outcomes within the industry and tries to relate differences in CD outcomes to differences of change across companies.
