The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre has issued a warning about illegal mining. They say this activity is making communities less safe.
KAIPTC held a meeting in Kumasi recently. Traditional leaders, security officials, and people who make rules attended the event.
They talked about how galamsey affects the safety and security of areas in the Ashanti and Western Regions.
This illegal mining is causing problems that worry security agencies.
The centre's work aims to understand and address these growing security threats.
Discussions focused on the direct impact of galamsey on the well-being of citizens.
The findings from the workshop are expected to guide future safety measures.
Authorities are looking at ways to tackle the problem and improve security.
