<\/a><\/p>\nIn 2007, the Ahafo mine collaborated with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to establish an intervention known as the Ahafo Linkages Programme (ALP) to support the development of local businesses as potential suppliers and providers of goods and services to the mine. The programme was also aimed at supporting the development of local non-mining businesses to develop a diversified local economy outside the mining sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, we have awarded contracts to about 500 local businesses within our host communities through the ALP and other programmes, with two of the companies, Alexiboam Company Ltd and Sarfpok Ltd, going on to receive industry recognition for their work with us,\u201d Mr. Brakoh added.<\/p>\n
The Ahafo Linkages Programme (ALP) has been recognized by the World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) as Best Practice SME Linkages\/Sustainability Project.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Brakoh, Newmont Ghana is playing a leading role in the development of a long-term national sustainable policy and supplier development programme for the mining industry to help promote sourcing from local businesses within the mining industry and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working with the Ghana Chamber of mines to support local businesses within the mining sector and ensure that a significant portion of the industry\u2019s procurement is sourced from indigenous companies. Already, we are making strides in this regard and the future can only be brighter,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
