The Ghana Gold Board, operating as GoldBod, has been lauded as a “revolutionary” entity in the gold trade sector by Hon. Joanna Gyan Cudjoe, Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, for its efforts in cleaning up the gold trade in Ghana. The statement was highlighted in a news alert broadcast by Starr FM 103.5, a prominent radio station in Ghana, on Monday, 1 December 2025.
Speaking on the impact of GoldBod’s initiatives, Hon. Cudjoe emphasized that the organization’s work in reforming the gold trade has positioned it as a model worthy of study by other countries. “By cleaning up the gold trade, GoldBod has proven itself revolutionary, a model every country should study,” the MP remarked, underscoring the significance of GoldBod’s contributions to enhancing transparency and accountability in Ghana’s gold sector.
GoldBod, as the Ghana Gold Board, plays a pivotal role in the management and regulation of gold resources in Ghana, a country renowned for its rich gold deposits and significant gold production on the African continent. The organization’s efforts to streamline the gold trade are seen as critical steps toward maximizing benefits from Ghana’s gold resources for national development.
The news alert featured a photograph of Hon. Joanna Gyan Cudjoe, highlighting her endorsement of GoldBod’s impact. The broadcast included logos of Starr FM and GoldBod Ghana Gold Board, alongside other media partners of the EIB Network, indicating a collaborative effort in disseminating information on key developments in Ghana’s gold sector.
In her comments, Hon. Cudjoe’s praise for GoldBod reflects growing recognition of the importance of responsible and regulated gold mining and trading practices, not only for economic reasons but also for environmental and social governance. Ghana, like several other gold-producing nations, faces challenges related to illegal mining (often referred to as “galamsey”), which has environmental and security implications. GoldBod’s initiatives are thus viewed in the context of broader efforts to address these challenges and promote sustainable gold production.
The broadcast concluded with social media handles for Starr FM (@starr1035fm) and a reference to their website (starrfm.com.gh), inviting listeners and readers to engage with more news content. The logos of various media outlets affiliated with the EIB Network were also displayed, showcasing the collaborative media coverage of this development.
As Ghana continues to seek optimal benefits from its natural resources, GoldBod’s work, as commended by MP Joanna Gyan Cudjoe, signals a positive trajectory in the country’s approach to managing its gold wealth, potentially serving as a benchmark for other nations grappling with similar resource management issues.
