Ghana is a stable democracy, with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, fast-growing economy, and strategic location in West Africa. It is a key destination for investment, tourism, and trade, known for its gold, crude oil, timber, and cocoa exports. In recent years, illegal gold mining, known locally as “galamsey,” continues to cause environmental damage and economic losses, including polluted rivers and an estimated $2 billion annual loss in tax revenue.
