Ronny Agyei Yeboah - Livelihood Diversification as a Solution to River Pollution
Illegal mining in Ghanaian rural communities is causing extreme river pollution. This is also causing devastating life for the rural poor and aquatic lives both of whom depend hugely on these rivers. The main underlying cause of this illegal mining is a lack of alternative economic activities to support livelihood as found by many scientific and independent studies. This is the reason why Ronny and a group of concerned youth from CERPA have developed this “Livelihood Diversification as a Solution to River Pollution” project to provide skills in mushroom cultivation and marketing for illegal miners and potential illegal miners to combat this heart-wrenching situation. This project is initiating at Akim Manso in the Eastern Region of Ghana which is one of the most affected communities.
