This book investigates how mineral resources can be governed to
promote people-centred development in Ghana, focusing on the three
main human development variables: living standards, education and
health. Ghana is endowed with abundant mineral resources. The
mineral sector accounts for about 14% of total tax revenue, driven
mostly by an increase in export earnings from the gold sector and
the commencement of crude oil exports. However, the country has not
yet been able to use its natural resources to promote human
development, and the majority of the population still lives on less
than $2 a day. This book argues for a paradigm shift in the
discussion of mineral resources, one that looks to govern natural
resources in such a way as to improve standards of living, health,
education, income levels, empowerment, quality of work and threats
from violence. The human-centred mineral resource governance
approach developed by this book will not only be useful to Ghana,
but can also be applied to other mineral-rich countries in
sub-Saharan Africa. This book will be important to upper-level
students and researchers of natural resource management,
international development and African studies, as well as to NGOs,
practitioners and policymakers who recognise the importance of
linking natural resources income to human development.
