What is Galamsey and Why is Ghana Battling it? Ghana has been fighting illegal gold mining, known as galamsey, for a long time. ‘Galamsey’ is a Ghanaian word that refers to illegal gold mining done by large and small scale miners. Galamseyers, as they are called, mainly operate in Ghana’s middle belt, rich in gold deposits. They dig pits on lands and near water bodies, polluting them and harming nearby residents. Both locals and foreigners including the Chinese, Burkinabes and Ivorians, often lead these operations. Unemployment among youth is a key reason people engage in galamsey. Locals and foreigners with both equipment and money often hire young men and women in the rural areas to work for them. Some older people sell their lands to illegal mining companies because they lack other income sources, even though their payment is usually low. Corruption also fuels galamsey. Some political and traditional rulers own illegal mining companies. Foreign nationals often bribe government officials to allow their illegal mining activities, causing leaders to act slowly against galamsey.
