Gold Mining in Sub-Saharan Africa

The Agence Francaise de Developpement and the World Bank published in 2017 a major study titled "Mining in Africa: Are Local Communities Better Off?" by Punam Chuhan-Pole, Andrew L. Dabalen, and Bryan Christopher Land.

The focus of the study is the impact on local communities of gold mining. Most of the research is based on Ghana, Mali, Tanzania, and Burkina Faso.
