GNCCI Engages GoldBod to Align Private Sector with Gold Industry Reforms
The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) has initiated a strategic engagement with the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), signaling a renewed commitment to fostering private sector participation in the governance and development of Ghana’s gold value chain. This high-level courtesy call, led by GNCCI President Mr. Stéphane Miezan, forms part of a broader agenda to align private enterprise with national resource management and value-addition strategies.
Held at the GoldBod headquarters in Accra, the meeting provided a platform for both institutions to explore areas of mutual interest—ranging from gold value chain integration and formalization of artisanal mining supply chains to ethical sourcing, investment facilitation, and capacity-building for local traders and aggregators. The tone was collaborative yet ambitious: a shared recognition that Ghana’s gold industry can deliver more inclusive and sustainable economic outcomes when anchored in public-private synergy.
Welcoming the Chamber’s delegation, GoldBod CEO Mr. Sammy Gyamfi, Esq., commended GNCCI’s proactive approach. “This visit demonstrates the private sector’s recognition of GoldBod’s pivotal role in restructuring Ghana’s gold sector,” he remarked. “We see the Chamber as a vital partner in ensuring the gold trade delivers enduring value to Ghanaians.”
In his remarks, Mr. Miezan reinforced GNCCI’s resolve to position its members—particularly those in mining services, logistics, financing, and downstream processing—as enablers of Ghana’s industrial transformation. “We are here not just as visitors, but as stakeholders with skin in the game. Our members are ready to align with reforms that foster transparency, innovation, and local content in the gold ecosystem,” he stated.
Accompanying the President were GNCCI Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mark Boadu-Aboagye, National Treasurer Mr. Kabutey Ceaser, GNCCI Member Mr. Dennis O. Carter, and Head of Communications Mr. Peter Atsu Dotse. Their presence underscored the Chamber’s unified leadership around the goal of economic empowerment through strategic collaboration.
The engagement concluded with a mutual commitment to deepen institutional dialogue and co-develop initiatives that strengthen regulatory compliance, enhance investment readiness, and drive responsible growth across the precious minerals sector.
