Gold Fields Ghana Hosts National College of Defence Studies for Strategic Engagement on Smart Governance and Sustainability

The visit formed part of NCDS’s curriculum, designed to equip senior military officers, civil servants, and allied personnel with strategic leadership skills in defence and national security. The tour provided participants with first-hand insights into how private sector operations align with national development and governance priorities.

Showcasing Responsible Mining Practices

Led by Kwame Appau, Gold Fields Ghana’s Mining Manager (then Acting Tarkwa Mine Manager), and supported by the senior leadership team, the delegation was briefed on several aspects of Gold Fields' operations. The team presented on:
- Environmental stewardship and sustainability practices
- Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) management
- Comprehensive safety protocols
- Community engagement and social investment initiatives

These briefings demonstrated Gold Fields Ghana’s commitment to responsible mining and its role in promoting sustainable development in its operational regions.

Bridging Theory and Practice

The visit offered NCDS participants an opportunity to connect theoretical frameworks in governance and policy with practical corporate implementation. The insights gained are expected to enhance the participants' strategic thinking and decision-making in their various roles within government and defence institutions.

Strengthening National Collaboration

Gold Fields Ghana values such engagements as vital to building trust and collaboration between the private and public sectors. The company remains committed to initiatives that promote shared learning, effective governance, and inclusive development.
